yup lets smack and beat the next generation into thinking just like us....that is all that is being said.

there is nothing wrong with pointing out mistakes in our growin up years....it is when we are smacked or berated into having to think just like the adults doing the discipline is where the problem hits.

control freaks. gotta control the thoughts of the young and the thoughts of the nation. (remember it is for everyone's good...as they see it)---lets make carbon copy control freaks....yea that help! that is the answer!

UGH
OMG!


I have to bow out now. If I continue I will go nuclear in this thread..LOL

Teaching is "smacking and beating"?

I guess if you feel that way, any teaching moment would be seen as an attack. Hummm. This thread is now making a little more sense.

 

[FarmerChick]

read Scott--he was smacked

and mind control and verbal abuse is considered teaching by many

only sense I read here is that if people don't act or respond in accordance with RULES set by others they are useless.



whatever, I have to get out of this

Young children spanked by their parents may grow up to be happier and more successful than those who have never been hit, a study has found.

According to the research, children spanked up to the age of 6 were likely as teenagers to perform better at school and were more likely to carry out volunteer work and to want to go to college than their peers who had never been physically disciplined.

But children who continued to be spanked into adolescence showed clear behavioral problems.

Childrens groups and lawmakers in the UK have tried several times to have physical chastisement by parents outlawed, the Times of London reported. They claim it is a form of abuse that causes long-term harm to children and say banning it would send a clear signal that violence is unacceptable.

However, Marjorie Gunnoe, professor of psychology at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, said her study showed there was insufficient evidence to deny parents the freedom to choose how they discipline their children.

The claims made for not spanking children fail to hold up. They are not consistent with the data, said Gunnoe. I think of spanking as a dangerous tool, but there are times when there is a job big enough for a dangerous tool. You just dont use it for all your jobs.

Research into the effects of spanking was previously hampered by the inability to find enough children who had never been spanked, given its past cultural acceptability.

But Gunnoes work drew on a study of 2,600 people, about a quarter of whom had never been physically chastised.

Yeah I agree with that one.

FC you can't have a meaningful dialogue with the my way or the highway types because they are always rignt no matter what. They have no interest in your point of view so why waste your time?

You tried to point out that maybe things are a little more difficult for a segment of the population and all you got was basically "too bad for them".

it's the hooray for me and the heck with you mentality that pervades and you can't do anything about it.

Just keep being you because you can quote scripture till the cows come home and it doesn't make you a good person.
