I did not whip my daughters until they were 8 and 9 years old. I generally talked to them about things, but on this particulare day, they were forming a rebellion against me the mother. Almost caused me to have an accident in the car. I did wait until I got home and had each take off their clothes and I whipped them both. They never tried that again with me or anyone else. At 27 and 26 they have fond memories of the day that they tried to assert their independence to get what they wanted. After that they knew that I was capable of going there, so they made a choice not to suffer the consequences of making bad choices. I always preach choices and consequences. If you ever say you must follow-through or they children will not ever belive you. I think it is very improtant not to promise a whipping, if you are not going to follow through with it.

I disagree with April�s thought that whipping is a quick fix. I am a firm believer in whipping when whipping is indeed warranted. I do not believe all children respond to punishment the same way. I believe that some children respond to physical punishment or the thought of physical punishment better than any form of punishment. I do not know much about the blue ribbon system that MCS has in place but I have spoken to a lot of teachers who feel that the policy is not effective. I am not saying that whipping should replace the policy but I feel that it should be an option.
