Advantages: If You Can Control Your Kids With Yours Hands Not A Fist, Then You've Done Your Job
Disadvantages: Smacking Might Shut Them Up Now, But In The Long Run...
For you to understand my thoughts on this issue, I want you to read two poems. Sometimes, I can only express my thoughts this way. I've made them relevant, so in my eyes they still constitute an opinion. AS A CHILD What ever happened my childhood? The golden age of youth When the world was one giant saftey net And hate exsisted only in comic books What ever happened to innocence? Presuming the best of life The frighting logical way of thinking That suited my simple and easy life What ever happened to wonder? The fear of the monster beneath the bed The notions of magic and super powers Having the worlds strongest Dad What ever happened to learning? Approaching with a mind blank and free The days before preconceptions The real world content without me Finally I ask of freedom The old friend I remember in only my dreams All before advertising and fashion and hype Stole my chance to be truly free If only we were all still children And in our hearts we still found a song Where war and famine and racism Were unconceable, unjustifable and wrong With this poem in mind I ask you to consider the next WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND Bear in mind as you show your fist How you yourself began this trip And recall the fear in your heart When the world you loved fell apart Hit my face or slap my bum Ethier way the damage is done As a child I can only look to you My foremost teacher, my bearer of truth Teach me now while you're still right The only solution is to fight And forever shall it embed in my brain That to hit a child or my wife is sane To show me life is all a fight Is to cheat me of the childhood right To live at least a decade of my time Ignoring the truth of my inevitable decline Set the example of diplomacy and care Ta
ke from me my teddy bear But never raise to me a fist and show The world of hate I'm yet to know If we bring our children up in a place where the hate and violence in the real world doesn't exist, our children will see clearly what is right and wrong. Give them an exception to the darkness out there and don't smack - let them keep their innocence just a little bit longer. -Peakly

amonet - 11/12/00 Excellent op. As I've mentioned in my own op on the subject, I DO smack my kids but only when they decide to try and run under a bus and have ignored ALL my other attempts to stop them. Better that than being squished or deaded. |
