Republican Rep. Byron Donalds: “I still believe in spanking. I’ve got kids. I spank my kids.

psychological trauma from having to contemplate their actions in silence?

decades of studies show that corporal punishment is harmful to a childs development.

Did you even read the article?

When the parental response is to isolate the child, an instinctual psychological need of the child goes unmet. In fact, brain imaging shows that the experience of relational pain—like that caused by rejection—looks very similar to the experience of physical pain in terms of brain activity.

On top of everything, time-outs are usually ineffective in accomplishing the goals of discipline: to change behavior and build skills. Parents may think that time-outs cause children to calm down and reflect on their behavior. But instead, time-outs frequently make children angrier and more dysregulated, leaving them even less able to control themselves or think about what they’ve done, and more focused on how mean their parents are to have punished them.​

My father beat me with a belt, stripped me naked, made me stand with my arms out until I couldn’t hold them out anymore…at which point he’d beat me like a slave. My mother once witnessed this happening, after coming home from work, and walked right past the room like she hadn’t seen anything. My father also, spied on me, cornered me and constantly violated my personal space, yelled directly at me, as loudly as he could, while balls of his spit would fly into my face. He’d undermine me, antagonize me, doubt me, talk down to me…and at the end of it all, apologize, and tell me he loved me. Every single time it happened. Let’s just say its been a difficult journey for my mental health.

Man I got whooped growing up and imma whip my children too.

That's the reason we got these out of control children today shooting and beating up on teachers cause they aint never been disciplined and shown that there are consequences for their actions.

Some of the stuff this new generation does wouldn't even pop in my head to do.

We watching a generation that didn't get whippings right now and we all universally agree that they are terrible. It's because they were given "talkings" when they should have been given "whippings".

Very last resort for me and my kids. My oldest who’s 15 I stopped 4 years ago. My youngest who’s ten last got that work over a year ago. I try everything I can think of before it gets to the belt. Make sure to review why I’m doing it before with them and after. Really hate doin it, can’t lie. But sometimes it’s necessary after you’ve tried all other means for them to get it together. And I 100% make sure they know they are loved and I tell them as well. Don’t mean I won’t give ‘em some akrite if necessary tho

Great post breh.

Unfortunately there's a police officer out there who is waiting to beat your (not saying you) child if he doesn't learn at home.

I don't spank, but I don't tell other parents what to do either. And as a new parent it's still on the table as a last resort.

I tell my boy I'm going to throw him through a window. I haven't done it yet, but eventually..... nevermind.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Honestly spanking doesn't matter as much as good parenting overall. Some parents beat the shyt out of their kids but are terrible parents....others spank their kids but balance it with good parenting and positive reinforcement.

You have to know your child. I got whooped but not THAT much. I was mostly a good kid but definitely had my moments where I earned more than a time-out.

Some kids need stern discipline while others just need a gentle hand to guide them. Only thing I can't stand is how disrespectful and sassy/mouthy these kids are. Shyt I would NEVER say to my parents. Wifey knows I will not tolerate back-talk and sass and she's of the same mindset. Doesn't mean you have to hit your kids but the people I know that have turned out the best, had firm discipline in the house even if they didn't get hit much (or ever).

in 2053, there'll be studies on the psychological trauma of giving "time outs"
a lot of ya'll act like spanking = beating your kid into a coma... imma never get down with this shyt

well i'll be damned something told me to do a quick search after posting that

'Time-Outs' Are Hurting Your Child

In a brain scan, relational pain—that caused by isolation during punishment—can look the same as physical abuse. Is alone in the corner the best place for your child?

You should make this into its own thread.

This guy is a piece of shyt self hating c00n who is fine with being used as a prop for republicans, he supports anti black policies that harm our communities. He is no friend to black people. Just another republican c00n that will say anything to get a pat on the back by his white colleagues

“Studies “

Some kids need their head knocked off while others you can just talk to and shyt will be alright .

Same shyt with adults.

There's a huge difference btw spankings and whoopings. I don't believe in whoopings or beatings. Whether its with a belt, switch, etc.

Spankings work until a certain age. A swift open hand swat on the butt is okay. I will definitely spank my child but I will never use a belt or any other item to punish my son.

I remember my mom beat my azz with a thick rodeo belt when I was in elementary school. I hated her after that. My actions didn't justify a beating that hardcore. I felt like she took her stress out on my azz. I will never do my son like that but I want him to have some sort of fear of me when he think he's doing some sneaky shyt.

 

[NatiboyB]

I do spankings and it is just another tool for discipline. Run your household how you choose. And idgaf about those studies. Guess I’m conservative on this.

 

[Jekyll]
