How to raise kids. http://greatessays9.blogspot.com/
In my view it is better to put a whelp on a child behind than to have a crying mother up at night worried out of her mind eighteen years later. And in many cases the kid may be too far-gone on drugs or into crime with only two choices left, prison or death. This is what the liberals and their welfare state has done to this once proud “I-don’t-want-your charity” great predominant Christian nation. It has devastated the African American community more than anything else.

Jayme "I’m telling you discipline is what gives purpose and meaning to life."
Children need to be raised with discipline and discernment. Discipline means a-lot of things, not necessarily a spanking. But I dont see how that will give them a purpose in life. Maybe I didnt get the meaning of your post.

FreddieSirmans I agree, a kid can be disciplined without spanking. However, nothing can instill a more powerful conscience in a child than physical pain for wrong doing. In fact a too powerful conscience is the cause of my neurotic symptoms, how sad. Thanks for commenting.

timethief If you think physical pain installs instills conscience in a child then I say you are 100% wrong. If you were correct then every abused child would be a saint who would not complete the cycle of violence. I think the 2 most important things parents can teach their children are responsibility and resilience. Children do not necessarily learn from what we say. Whether or not we carry through by transforming words into actions is what counts. Children learn by witnessing what we do and they will do what we do. patents who resort to physical violence to "control" their children do not instill conscience they create fear and if the parent persists in assaulting them they instill disrespect and loathing.

FreddieSirmans Probably 90 percent of the people that read my writing won't understand it and there is a reason for that. The reason is far too many American today has weak survival instincts and lacks the wisdom to exercise good survival judgment. My whole thinking process is about allowing the most to survive including those in the womb. The things I say about child raising and just about everything else have been tried and true tested in over 5000 years of civilization. In the end "Natural selection" determines who and what survives not mere word or any amount of good intentions.

Jayme Corporal punishment may work to make kids obey you out of fear like TT said, but it's like trying to control people with laws. That is an external force. People will do what they want when given a chance. So the minute your child gets out of your sight they will rebel. I think it is better to teach your child by reaching their heart, --not spanking their behinds. When you reach their heart and they understand why they shouldnt do something they can then apply it to their own life. The spanking only works as a deterrent as long as you are there to administer it.

Jayme ...the same reason there are law-abiding adults and ones who have no respect and will break the laws --even under the threat of punishment.
