My older sister, younger...I totally agree with you. My older sister, younger brother and I all grew up being spanked. And none of us are "agressive" or feel that violence is OK. We were never abused, and always knew that we were loved....but from an early age we knew the rules and knew that the rules WOULD be enforced.<BR/><BR/>The key is to spank (or however you chose to punish)with love and never anger. Had my dad ever yelled at us kids right before or during a spanking, we would've probably been terrified. Instead, he calmly -- yet firmly -- would let us know why we were going to be spanked. After the spanking he would hug us and assure us that he still loved us.<BR/><BR/>I don't have children of my own yet, but I can say that the government will not tell me how I am to raise my children. I've seen friends of mine who didn't have any discipline, and most of them grew up to do drugs, drink, etc. If my children need to be introduced to a switch or belt, so be it. My siblings and I didn't come out any the worse for wear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557567.post-22902464922478112292007-01-26T22:56:00.000-06:002007-01-26T22:56:00.000-06:00There is direct correlation between juvenile probl...There is direct correlation between juvenile problems and Dr. Benjamim Spock telling America to stop spanking their kids. Spanking is affection, caring for their future. <br /> nuf sedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557567.post-66681804006540544642007-01-22T12:40:00.000-06:002007-01-22T12:40:00.000-06:00Actually, I let my two year olds touch the flames ...Actually, I let my two year olds touch the flames when I watched them reach for 'em. Yes, I was very close.<br /><br />They got little blisters, and valuable lessons. <br /><br />I'm probably going to be considered a bad daddy by some for that, but I think that it's as good or better than a spanking, and it's certainly less permanent than the piercings that I see 2 year olds get for fashion's sake.Matt Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500429239798601210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557567.post-48958385101957439502007-01-21T17:39:00.000-06:002007-01-21T17:39:00.000-06:00LOL - Yes, what's next, ballgags?

And have you seen any policies on corporal punishment in school? By the time it's determined the offense merits such punishment, the student's file has been checked to see if parents have approved such punishment, the parents have been notified that such punishment is to be used, the paperwork has been drawn up, a witness has been appointed, the paddle inspected for splinters.......what was the punishment for?<br /><br />I used to be surprised they didn't have to notify the media. Then I figured if it ever actually happened, the media would know anyway.Flohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399341816112338080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557567.post-84807731815078763112007-01-19T23:53:00.000-06:002007-01-19T23:53:00.000-06:00You said it, sister.

Ever noticed that people who are totally opposed to spanking their children usually have children sorely in need of a spanking?<br /><br />I tell ya, Chronic Hickory Deficiency is running rampant.Ambulance Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175419709184526342noreply@blogger.com
