Corporal Punishment

www.nasn.org/Default.aspx?tabid=214

The website I found, though informative I found to be irrational. There is a very definitive point between being punished and being abused. They discussed it so narrow-mindedly and ruled it as being so negative. I was raised during the corporal punishment era, as were my parents, my grandparents, and every generation of my family before me. And I can say that it was effective, because it was used properly. Of course it can lead to adverse effects when improperly applied as can any of the other forms of disciplining. I look at it as being a way to establish respect, a reverence as to where when a parent speaks they are clearly heard. I only received three spankings, all before the age of seven and that was enough. I didn't get spanked when I became of age it is ineffective then. But when you are smaller it is very effective to establish a foundation of how a child is to conduct themselves and later how an adult is to maintain his/her life productively. It is a means to build upon, it has to be viewed for more than just a "beating". I totally agree with it, and will use it for my child (Lord Willin' that I have any) because I know how it is used. You cannot just spank a child, just like you cannot just talk to a child. A child must be raised and shown the proper way to conduct themselves and that comes with time, discipline, and support. It is the reinforcement behind the spanking that makes it effective.
