Do You Spank Your Children?

Oct 14 2008 - 5:00am by babysugar

Raising children today is very different from what it was 30 years ago. In the 70s, parents hardly knew what a car seat was and many of them had no problem tossing their children over their laps for a quick swat to correct bad behavior. Today, youngsters are often praised for doing right instead of being condemned for doing wrong and spanking has practically become a dirty word in many mother's groups. Do you have a hand in discipline — are you a spanker?Source

Do You Spank Your Children?

No — I believe in other methods of punishment.

Occasionally my 22-month-old daughter will lose her mind over something trivial or even inexplicable. During her tantrums, I have tried to pacify her with a book, a hug, a treat or other items. When none of those work, I have discovered that a change in scenery works best.

It's the oldest trick in the book —a couple of dollars for chores, a gift for good grades, or a lollipop for standing patiently in the check out line. Call it what you will — an incentive, a reward, or a bribe. Many moms and dads have no problem offering their lil darlings something in exchange for a desired behavior, action, or accomplishment. Are you guilty of giving your kids goodies to get them to do what you want? Source

Do You Ever Bribe Your Children?

Yes — We both get what we want and everyone's happy.

Sometimes — There's a time and place when bribes become a bargaining tool.

No — Kids should not expect things in exchange for their actions.

Other — I'll tell you in the comments.

Is It Strange When a Stranger Corrects Your Child?

I was flying solo the other night when a man on the plane leaned toward two extremely well-behaved, school-aged children seated in front of him and asked them to settle down. I'm not sure what the guy's issue was as they weren't even talking, but it caused their attentive father to glance back at the man who made the request. How do you feel when someone you don't know advises your offspring?
