fanovheels Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yesterday, mom wore a belt around her waist, which she has had many years and is the same one she used many years ago for discipline at home! Anyone else here either received or given the belt/stick at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roniheels Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I received a swat now and then from parents and teachers, but never with a belt or stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Histiletto Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Does the older generations have the respect of the younger? Does the "rod" help with disciplining or does it promote the fear of being caught? Parents, guardians, and other authority figures often lay down rules that seem to contradict the ideals they espouse. So when the the reigns are lifted, the liberated sole tends to disregard the rules they were under while trying to find what they can determine to be the way they think it should be.

Eggnog Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 i can see a swat on a two year old to get their attention as sometimes that's all that works. After about three it just leads to a resentment of authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quidam Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 i can see a swat on a two year old to get their attention as sometimes that's all that works. After about three it just leads to a resentment of authority. Very true, and I totally am with you Eggnog. This kind of punishment should come timely just for once. For those saying it is not good "to hurt" our kids remember this thing: life hurts a LOT MORE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
