Do you still believe in Corporal punishment?

I am a corporal punishment parent, or, well, I WAS. My kiddos are all grown up now. I didn't abuse my children, but, there is a reason that ADULTS liked to be around my children. It took a Village.

My kids grew up knowing that if they were misbehaving in church and one of the elders corrected them and they didn't obey or God FORBID told them "You're not my mom or dad and I don't have to" it wouldn't be pretty when they got home.

Now, I can tell a child to stop running in the sanctuary and they will walk to the opposite side of the church and start running again. I've even OPENLY and LOUDLY corrected children in front of their parents to no avail, what's more....NO REACTION FROM THE PARENT! It's a little scary, if you ask me. More like the children are in charge these days.

Of course, I'm just an old fuddy duddy! LOL

Attack! Attack!

If the parent can discipline their children through corporal punishment without their temper getting out of hand, I don't think it's wrong. If you lash out and react (vs discipline), then I think it has the potential to be a problem.

Some kids deserve a beating.

Some teenagers need a thorough beat down by a man that cares for them. They usually end up getting one, unfortunately, from the police and by then, it's too late.

You can beat your children without crushing their spirits.

Good word

I don't believe that the "beating" should be the first response for most situations. However, by the third time, "SMACK!"

There should be no fourth time.

I have 3 teen agers - I can't imagine myself "beating" them under any circumstances. The very thought crushes my spirit.
