[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think hitting/spanking your kids is just lazy parenting.

Do better as a parent and actually take charge in being the grownup in the situation. Say "no," take stuff away, ground them, hell... even shame them. Shaming is so much more productive than hitting, imho.

I totally disagree with you, from my own perspective on experiencing both shame and spanking.[/quote]

Are you a sociopath? For the vast majority of people, shaming is quite effective in changing behavior. [/quote]

Shaming was effective, but it hurt much worse than the spanking.[/quote]

That's the point of shame. It's supposed to hurt - that's what makes it effective. The pain from spanking goes away, but the pain from shaming sticks and makes you think about your choices.

I stand by my claim - don't hit, but definitely do shame.[/quote]

I get what you’re saying, and I do think shame has some value in society. We use it in all kinds of ways we don’t often think about.

But I think for little kids, it can easily go too far (just like spanking can, of course). And from my perspective, spanking was effective for me without long lasting pain. Like a minute of pain, and then done.
