When was the last time you were in public and saw a bad ass little
kid misbehaving? When I see this happening, the first thing
that comes to mind is “Oh no, he/she needs a beating!” If little Johnny can’t act
right, all he need is one week at Breezy’s house and he’ll be fine. My son is
7 and he has his 7-year-old moments at times but, the one thing I can say is
that he’s well behaved for the most part. His god-mother tells me all the time how she enjoys his
company because he’s never a problem. My son and I have an understanding and with
the way I was raised, I’ve made it my personal decision not to spank my child
as a form of discipline.
For starters these are MY VIEWS AND I’M NOT TELLING ANYONE
HOW TO RAISE THEIR CHILD. If you feel little Johnny is bad, then you spank his
behind if you feel that will work for the both of you. As a child, my mother
never spanked me. All my spankings came from my biological father and my aunt. Me personally, I believe that children become accustomed to spankings and it doesn’t
teach them anything. If they want to misbehave their going to do just that because,
they know all that’ll happen is a minute or so of a spanking then their going
back to do their own thing.
Raising my son in a single parent home isn’t an easy job but
I’m his primary provider and I couldn’t see myself beating my son for misbehaving. Imagine being a child and constantly having your parent beat on
you. For what? I think it’s pointless. Why would I beat on someone that I brought
into this world to love and protect? With my son, his knees quiver at the sound
of my stern voice. I may ruffle his color on his button down or get eye level
to him, so he understands I mean business but no spankings in my household. This works for us! We
take things away, we do chores, we take naps, we have alone time to think about
our actions etc. In my opinion you don’t have to beat on a child to get them to
listen to you and make good decisions. Spankings do not replace conversations
about what bad decision were made. As parents I feel it’s our job to mentor,
protect, and love our children….not beat on them but hey that’s my opinion. Mamas, how do you discipline your children?
