People are still saying hitting your children is ok?
Again: studies have shown that hitting your children is not only not good, it is possible that your child will grow up to be more violent than average people as a result of your disciplining him/her.

And when you don't beat the child it's impossible for him to grow up more violent than average people...

What kind of beating they were studying? How they ensured hitting was the cause of violence? That's stupid.

Im sure it has already been said but the whole "beating" thing is too broad to be taken into an argument. Slapping a child because he did something wrong in purpose is something that can teach him right from wrong, Spanking him just because he pisses you off is wrong.

I think some of you are confused about terms, and it's best to use the right nomenclature if you plan on discussing something

Reinforcement: Action taken as a result of good behavior
Punishment: Action taken as a result of bad behavior

Positive: Adding something
Negative: Taking something away

Positive and negative reinforcement are both GOOD in the eyes of the child, since either something good is being added (given) or something bad is taken away. Punishment is always bad, and something bad is given or something good is taken away.


thanks for this.

i was not aware of the distinctions.


edit - now that i think about it, if you know the specifics of operant conditioning, then perhaps you have an opinion on the matter?

care to share it?

Of course you can raise a child without hitting them. This should be completely obvious.
You have to be a weak parent to hit your child; there are always other ways of dealing with situations. And as said many times it doesn't even work.

If you still think it's alright to beat children; imagine if you're child misbehaved at school so the teacher smacked him in the face.
Would that be alright? He was merely "negatively reinforcing" a bad behavior.
Of course it wouldn't, the teacher would be a coward and a terrible professional.
In no other area of society is it alright to hit other people, children should be no different.

Sports-> boxing, football, basketball etc.
Law enforcement-> police baton, self defense etc..

Discipline through some form of physical punishment is fine. Obviously anything in excess will be bad but a spanking from time to time is no big deal. Uppity pansies that think it is the end of the world when a 9 year old gets spanked for stealing from the neighbors are what blow me away. People that use objects like belts, spoons etc kinda disturb me. I am also fairly against slapping or "beating" in so far as a closed fist etc. Spanking is fine imo.

but incontrol, studies have shown that spanking aint really good for the child, just like other forms of violence. to make a person feel pain to show that something is wrong to do = connects certain things in that childs head that shouldnt be connected which means likelyhood of violence in adolescence etc etc

i guess it depends on the childs genetics as well and other things, but still. There are better alternatives to raising a child than fucking spanking.

friggin american retards, thats right i said it, even tho obama has been elected and my dislike for yanks has gone down, when it comes to this FUCK YANKS.

I don't think it's that's bad to spank a child.. I don't believe it works as intended but it's not a big deal.

Your examples are wrong though....
You can't "sport" someone without their permission. It's not alright to body check someone on the street and claim you were practicing for the football team. Both parties agree to the engagement.
And as for law enforcement they certainly aren't allowed to hit people, only in self defence.
Restraining is not the same as hitting either.

I don't care what studies have shown. That is a garbage dump of logic that people quote to make themselves feel established. I was raised by parents who spanked and I turned out absolutely fine. Our bodies use pain to tell us that something is wrong. Our parents are in charge of raising us with the notion that we need to learn right from wrong. Mild pain that causes no physical damage/trauma as a form of discipline is fine.

People are ignorant if they think emotional "abuse" is anything different. You scold a child, tell them they were wrong/did things poorly they are being subjected to the same level of abuse only in a different form. In fact it can be more/less traumatizing.. based on that childs tendencies.

If you are parenting the child to assume pain is somehow connected to anything other than "I did something wrong" then you are doing it wrong. It should be clear why they are being punished so the lesson can be learned. That goes for any parenting though.. you raise a child to be verbally abusive due to an unclear understanding of why they are being lectured and you run into higher chances of that kid being a snot.

Uh you said it isn't ok in any area of society to hit someone. I clearly indicated it in fact is. Consent is an entirely seperate issue. It isn't even relevant to this thread. Do you think parents sit the child down and ask if it is ok to spank them? No.

So was it too much abuse, or a lack of spanking that led you to become a attention seeking, cross dresser on the internetz?

"that is a garbage dump of logic that people quote to make themselves feel established"

generalize more you fuckhead, throw all studies in one fucking pile the size of your Ass.

p.s. our bodies use pain to tell us something is wrong yeah, but if our mind knows its being done by a human being on purpose it shows that the childs psychology can change towards the concept of violence and so on. Not every child, but enough of em.

You're accusing me of trolling when you start a post with "I don't care what studies have shown" followed by lines of your own psychological analysis.

I feel you're defending your own parents, which is fair enough. I got hit occasionally and it wasn't a big deal but there are other methods of negative and positive reinforcement that don't involve violence or confuse a child more.
