I did that to my cousin when he was around the same age. I would get to him before he started to cry, but he would get scared poopless.

I agree on what everyone else is saying. +1000

Like in Step Brothers where the dad spanks him? LOLOL.
edit:
I also saw earlier in the thread about how spanking does discipline..
It's just like scolding a dog for peeing on the carpet. If you tell the dog 'don't do that' he\she will just do it again, but if you yell at it, it will not do it anymore.

V Dave, congrats on 20,000 LOL V

Thank You Dave, for keeping this site clean.

she did nothing wrong in my eyes. Its the weak *** discipline in this country that leads to all of the screw ups in the school systems. Kids today have no respect . Beat it into them.

Now, if she really wanted to punish her kid, she should have drop them at the ghetto

I believe a combination of positive/negative reinforcement and a tad bit of positive/negative punishment is necessary when a child gets way out of line would do well. Punishment is sorely lacking in North America whereas positive reinforcement is endorsed too much.

We may be treating the symptoms too late in the course of the disease. Physical punishment is the very last resort. The reason the kids act out is because they have had little or no previous correction. They need (and want) to know exactly where the boundaries are. First comes respect for their parents, then standards of conduct, acceptable limits to sibling harassment, and basic obedience.

Kids or even fairly bright pets don't understand being able to push the limits without fear of discipline, then being subjected to parental wrath when behavior crosses that fine line between what is acceptable and what is not. It is important to stop these excursions into borderline behavior and issue a calm but pointed warning, not wait until things boil over and scream at them or hand out physical punishment.

If gentle correction is ineffective, then move it up a notch. Don't allow bad behavior to go uncorrected - then go nuclear out of what the kids see as a clear blue sky. You are confusing the boundaries and undermining your own authority by losing your temper.

This is nothing.. Todays kids have it good.. That "time out" nonsense in some households is laughable.. When I grew up, the only one calling time out would be me after getting mu *** whooped with brooms, extension cords, big spoons, you name it.. Black mothers I tell you

Very well said Lil4X, I just don’t understand parents that ignore their kids and don’t spend time with them and hit them when they do something bad. We all live very busy lives, I make sure I spend at least 1 hour a day talking to my kids or throw a baseball with him or go to a museum with him on weekends. Most of the time, kids mis-behave because they are crying out for attention.

Definitely well said. If they need a good spanking then I will give it to them. This does not meant whenever they did something wrong I would spank them. I will have to teach not to do it again and use other form of punishment before spanking. Spanking is of the course the last resort of discpline.

These are to different things. People like Ted Bundy, were people who were just messed up. I am not saying that parents should solve their children's discipline issues solely using the belt and ect. You should spend time with your kids, throw the football, bring them to sporting events, but sometimes kids need a real "awakening" i guess you could call it. This mom used a non-violent act to teach her kids a lesson, and as far as i'm concerned, it will work. It won't be for a while before her kids act up again. Unless of course their mom getting arrested made them think they taught their mom a lesson

mmarshall

You bet it taught him.....and the main charge was vandalism, not spitting. He's not about to go back and do that again.....especially in Sinapore. (his name was Michael Fay, BTW). That bamboo stick stung his a** good....he's not about to forget it.

My wife and I both had the old school discipline growing up. She actually found a T shirt on line that says " My parents beat me and I turned out fine ". Priceless.


To parents today want to be their kids friends. You have to be the parent first then the friend.

SH212

I can see how if she would get the kids out and park around the corner and watch.. it scares the kid ****less, trust me i know i did it to my nephew at the mall... and from then on he is like glue to my side at the mall LOL... but driving home 3 miles away!! no way something can happend to them...

Kaydee

that is so medieval and old school man...pay someone else to beat them. Enroll them in karate school
