Topic	Is disciplinary spanking of children "abuse"??? (In your OWN OPINION)
Jen0125 12/03/18 3:49:26 PM #40:	shipwreckers posted... Jen0125 posted... shipwreckers posted... Jen0125 posted... Yes, it's abuse. And it's also assault. If you can get arrested for hitting an adult why would it be appropriate to hit a child? You can explain intellectually to an adult that they shouldn't run into a busy street. You can't explain that intellectually to a 2 year old (and even if you could, they'd forget everything you said in 5 minutes). Conflating hitting adults with "spanking" children is absurd. How does hitting a 2 year old explain they shouldn't run into a street? It's not just "running into a street." You can deter ANY potentially hazardous behavior by spanking, because the discomfort of the spank outweighs the potential thrill of whatever the heck the kid wants to do (running with a sharpened pencil, climbing onto a wobbly table, etc.) Pain is a very effective motivator and useful for course-correction (especially when spoken word is going to be ultimately ineffective; as PO explained). I feel genuinely sad that this needed to be explained. There are any number of sources you can look up that show spanking is not effective and is a detriment to children. But if you want to hit your kids have at it. Some people need an excuse for everything. Effective communication is too hard for some people. --- https://imgur.com/4ihiyS2 "I am not gay!
