[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Older child bit the younger child.  One hard whack with the belt on the behind sent a strong and clear message to the brain:  that is completely wrong.   After the spanking, biting never happened again.   I would say a spanking is as effective as 500 time outs with whining & pleading to be a good child and behave.

Whack!  It works, has worked for thousands of years to correct a child.  I have actually had people come up to me and marvel how well behaved my children are.  I joke and tell them they are afraid of getting beaten half to death so they know to behave. [/quote]

When my #1 bit my #2, I picked #2 up and hurried away while saying...WE DO NOT PLAY WITH PEOPLE WHO BITE...and then ignored #1 for a good long time while having lots of fun with #2.  Biting never happened again.[/quote]

Ignoring your little kid while lavishing attention on your other little kid in my mind is more damaging than a simple swipe to the bottom. I’d rather get a swat to the bottom than to have a mother’s love withdrawn and given to my sibling. Jesus.[/quote]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that.  Emotional abuse is insidious

I have spanked my son for running in to road repeatedly after being told no and once when he threw his sippy cup at me in anger and broke one of my eye socket bones [/quote]

You think hitting your kid with a belt and "joking" to strangers that you're going to beat your children to death is better parenting than planned ignoring ...? [/quote]

No one is talking about beating their kid with a belt (or at least, these posters were not). They’re talking about a quick smack over pants. [/quote]

Read the PP. And it's hitting, not a "quick smack."[/quote]
