How to Discipline Children Reviews

I am a 16 year old boy that would love to see corperate punishment in school. I used to get bullied a lot and the teachers power was very limited now I would like to see their authority increased so when it comes to smacking at home that in my mind is ok. No beating up, no hitting, no really hurting but like when a cat bites you but ...

The above title should ring bells with most people, and unfortunately I am also guilty of this. I try not to say this phrase too much as it is a threat, I don't want to threaten my children with what their father may do to them, or to make them frightened of him. Saying this to children will make them not look forward to seeing their dad ...

How to discipline children, is a harsh, maybe even cruel title, for what should be, how to teach your children right from wrong, and bring them up to value others. Discipline, even saying discipline makes it sound like a punishment, whereas discipline rally means self-control, and has been taken out of context over the years to spawn a ...

Well now my children are the grand old ages of 29,27,and 20, I can stand back and say they have turned out really well rounded human beings!(do not ask about the teenage years I could write a book about that!)And yes I did smack them and no they are not violent.A quick tap on the back of the leg was all that was needed.And it was never done by ...

Discipline has a nasty ring to it doesn't it? You should reason with your child, talk to them and explain to them why you are cross. Never should you discipline your child and never should you so much as raise your voice to them, let alone a hand. What I have written above is how I see the modern attitude to child correction. I ...

The recent issues regarding legislation to prevent parents using corporal punishment, which have now been dropped in England and Wales, caused many of us I’m sure to examine their own parenting methods. I for one feel great admiration for those whom appear to have perfectly well behaved children and yet swear they have never had to smack ...

To smack or not to smack? That is the question. A lot has been said about this very difficult subject but no-one can ever really find an answer that will suit everyone. The government today announced that they would not be making it illegal for parents to smack their child in this country. I fail to see how they could have enforced a ...

I have just read an interesting opinion on vandalism and another on disciplining children. I was physically abused as a child and have made it me promise myself that I would never lay a hand on my children. I would always reason with them and explain what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'. This I have found this impossible ...

I have been stuck in this topic for an hour now and just felt the need to stick my thoughts and experiences in here since so many others are here as well. I can't say one form of discipline is right or wrong. The spare the rod, spoil the child belief was what I was raised on, and I feel as though I had earned a great many of them, ...

In my opinion, it shouldn't. When a child is too young for the parents to reason with, a smack can help the child to understand when they have misbehaved, and hopefully help to prevent it in the future. Different methods of discipline work with different children, and therefore talking or shouting doesn't stop all children from ...

Every parent must wonder whether they are doing the right thing every time they make a decision regarding the upbringinig of their children. I too have doubts on some aspects. One issue I am 100% sure I know to be correct is that I will never smack my children. I really do not believe that it is neccessary to use pain, humiliation and ...

I write this opinion largely through the eyes of a teacher. I am also a parent yet at 10 months old I have not really had the opportunity to put what I am about to preach into practice with my own son (but I will!). I don't know if it will work as well out of the classroom but I will certainly let you know in the future. Teachers ...

There are a lot of different viewpoints of how to discipline a child. I believe the most important thing to do when you are discipling a child is to say that you love them no matter what they do. That you don't like what they are doing and need to discipline them. It's hard to do that because the child can make a parent feel guilty ...

I’ll admit that I occasionally resort to smacking my children - a slap on the leg, or a swat on the bottom. I know it is definitely not the ideal form of discipline to use. And if it’s a quick light smack, most people will agree this is not child abuse. But few parents can say with confidence they haven’t hit just a ...

First of all, I do not have children, but I feel I qualify a little bit to write this op by virtue of being smacked myself. Personally, I don't believe anyone should smack their children. However, I believe it is the parents choice of how to discipline their child, I just wanted to get that out of the way before I argue my case. ...

I hate to see people really smacking children but in the same respect how often have you heard yourself say "would someone smack that child" when you see one throwing an almighty temper tantrum in the bank. I have 5 kids and use different methods of disciple for each of them. No.1 is 11 she was smacked a lot as a child more ...

I don,t generally hold with violence, and smacking a child I do not consider violent in the right circumstances. I would NEVER belt any of my children when they were younger, or should ANY other bloke. The male by nature is too heavy handed for that type of thing. My wife used to mete out any physical punishment which was more ...

Well, for starters, I would and did! I have two boys and have never smacked them because I always felt that if I did then I might lose control and do something worse. Don't get me wrong a child sometimes needs a smack on the hand especially when they're small because that frequently seems to be the only way to actually get the message ...

I myself am a teenager of 14. I do not for a shadow of a doubt claim that i am perfect, that i am every parents wish child. But the thing i have noticed is that i am more, kind of, civilised than the other. I stand out. I always speak politely to adults, with the please and the thank you. I try my best to respect those in authority. And i think i ...

I've three children who I can take anywhere and be proud of them, know that they will be received in anyone's home, and that they are turning into young people that will not be held back because of their behaviour. That's not bragging, just leading me onto the 'how do I do it' bit. Not because I think that I've ...
