There is a bug difference between kicking the shit out of your kids and a corrective smack.. I had both growing up..

Its not of use in some circumstances and obviously in those situations where it serves no purpose then it crosses the line to abuse. In our house it WAS used in a way that after the first couple of occasions the mere threat of getting yer erse skelped was enough to control naughty behaviour.

"I agree with you on the but my issue with that it what is deemed to one parent a wee smack might to someone else be more violent etc so where do you draw the guidelines on what is and isn't acceptable? I mean ive had to physically man handle my child and carry them etc out of situations which for some might be to physical so i guess its not black and white but alot of grey when it comes to how much is to much.

I agree with you.. To a point..itnshoukdnt be the first thing you go to.. As wellinever correctly said, this shows a parent out of control (if it's the go to move) . But it should not be taken away as an option.. In my opinion.

My kids have been failed by alot of services due the fact all the bad boy's & girls becoming a priority over them!!
What's wrong in Alot of these cases is there's no boundaries/discipline at home.
So they do what the fuck they want!!"This my child has disipline at home and there are consequences for his actions and i do follow threw on taking his tablet or privledges etc away. X | |||

"Wasnt much telling off in my house as a child, thats what fathers belt was for. We downgraded to a skelp on the erse for our kids and now its all pc and feckin naughty steps , no wonder kids are becoming more and more soft. They've never had it tough.
You should share that view with others on the children's panel
Ahhh The great misconception about the childrens panel. I was the same too though, i thought it was all about kids being bad too.
Unfortunately the reality is about 80 % of kids passing through the panel these days is to do with neglect. Kids in YOUR street or mine or next door that dont have basic care or a normal childhood free from sexual abuse or serious physical or mental abuse not simply bad kids. Put it this way never in my time on the panel was the naughty step ever a recommendation.
Just some good ol fashioned punishment
If only it was an option eh ?.
I think they've probably had enough of that
The problem is people can't see the difference between abuse and loving correction.. There is a bug difference between kicking the shit out of your kids and a corrective smack.. I had both growing up.. There needs to be more instruction on responsibilities and consequences of actions as well as rights. If you don't know the difference then that's your problem.
I think it's a bigger problem referring to a smack as loving correction "Agreed | |||

Like i have a neighbour who i did report he lived across the road from me i was ground floor he was top and with my window and doors sgut and hia the same i could hear him scremaing and swearing at his kids all under 10. I have no idea if it went further than that but it was constantly from like 7am. Turns out social work were already involved with them, but for me i would never bave forgiven myself if something had happened x | |||

Because you're condoning physical violence as an act of love. There's little difference between hitting an adult for a misbehaviour when all involved should know better and an adult hitting a child who, most likely, genuinely doesn't understand what they've done wrong or have the impulse control to stop themselves.
A correction would be explaining why what they did was wrong and what they could have done instead. That's loving.
A smack is a reaction and is neither loving nor really correcting.
V x"Thank you Vanessa. I understand your point of view.. I do disagree with parts of it though.. Smacking as a reaction I agree with.. Smacking as part of an overall parenting strategy is what I would advocate.. Talking, explaining should always be the biggest part of it.. But there comes a point where a deterant is necessary and criminalising good loving parents for choosing what their deterant is, in my opinion is wrong. There is a world of difference between abuse and what we are discussing here. | |||

Why would a smack enlighten them as to why their behaviour is putting them at risk somehow? Words tend to work better for that. Examples. Especially when you're dealing with kids under 5 who haven't developed enough impulse control to stop themselves doing something daft. Older for ones with learning and developmental delays.
Don't get me wrong - when the feral toddler has bolted on to a road he's been grabbed by the first part I could reach and hauled back. When he's been lying on a garden centre floor, kicking and screaming he's been picked up and moved out the way of breakables and people so I could help him calm down. I don't know what a smack would have done in either case apart from teach him that it OK to hit others.
There are other ways to discipline when it's really needed. What's needed more often though is a discussion on empathy, kindness and consent.
V x
Ahh 2 very good examples V and W . The first with the road would never happen as when we shouted stop that was a key word that it was time to NOT do something and if continued would result in a bum skelp. Bourne out of past experience when they continued doing something after being told to stop. The floor tantrum, you say you let it continue just from a safer place. Again stop it now and it was over , again from previous ' discussions'. I sound like a basss but by the time they were 4 or 5 ish these methods were not required, the rules and disipline and expectations from all of us were understood by parent and child. As max says. The rules of who was in charge were known.
Did I say they had happened again? No, they haven't. It was explained to him each time why what had happened was dangerous or not how to behave and what was expected instead. With the tantrum we went somewhere quiet he could be cuddled and held, allowed to have emotions and have those respected. Again, not happened again. He knows he's listened to and safe.
V x"You have a fair point there v, its just differing opinions as necked said earlier, time will tell in the future generations how effective it is. That said look at teenagers today, they now are suffering more and more pschological problems, depression, hurt feelings , unable to cope with life, softer, snowflake types. I would say the softly softy approach is already having a huge impact on young people already, they are not prepared for the big bad world out there. Again my opinion only. | |||

"I think it's a bigger problem referring to a smack as loving correction " I have saught clarity on this statement... I guess we don't always get what we seek.
Read further back...I offered it
No you didn't you said it was an oxymoron in your world.. No clarity there.
Loving correction by the administration of physical punishment is a contradiction of terms
Vanessa said why she believes it is a contradiction. You haven't. Big difference.
I thought you capable of working out the obvious. I'm in agreement with Vanessa "Or maybe you weren't sure why, you were repeating something you heard and had no real basis for agreement and Vanessa offered you one. | |||

Because you're condoning physical violence as an act of love. There's little difference between hitting an adult for a misbehaviour when all involved should know better and an adult hitting a child who, most likely, genuinely doesn't understand what they've done wrong or have the impulse control to stop themselves.
A correction would be explaining why what they did was wrong and what they could have done instead. That's loving.
A smack is a reaction and is neither loving nor really correcting.
V x"what most seem to forget is that a smack is not the first option. my children very rarely got a smack because they knew boundaries and understood that bad behaviour would not be tolerated. I know folk will say a smack is an act of violence but in some troubled children the sit and chat about it simply dosnt work. Kids are not stupid they learn to play their parents/guardians they know just how far they can push the boundaries. so for me it was about hard boundaries which they learned not to cross . most times with a dont do that or go to your room no electronics. a big problem in my mind is its not the kids fault its the parents/guardians not providing good guidance | |||
