Corporal Punishment - Fake science?

[Rekieta’s Broken Penis]

What do you niggers think about corporal punishment? I don’t really think it’s bad. My parents practiced it on my siblings (wooden spoon for fucking around too much, belt for major fucking around, washed mouth out with soap for continued swearing). They always decidedly weren’t abusive and nobody got punished without fair warning. I only got the belt once (I don’t even remember if it hurt) and never got the soap.

Nowadays I see a lot of news articles claiming research shows it makes children fucked up. However, a lot of seems to be coming from one particular lady with a vendetta against it who publishes quite prolifically. Also what I read seemed to conflate outright abuse with a disciplinary smack on the behind. Personally, I think a quick smack on the ass to shock some sense into you is less traumatic than being imprisoned in timeout for half an hour or whatever.

What do kiwifarmers think? I’d be especially happy to hear from somebody who is well-read on the research, to confirm or deny my suspicions about this field of study.

do it too much and they'll end up in animal control
do it too little and they'll end up in stinkditch

Everyone needs a smack sometime in their life.

Personally, I think we should just teach the little shits to actually think, instead of only teaching them a thing is bad, also explain to them why the thing is bad.
Kind of a teach a man how to fish situation.

Slapping/belt when well deserved might be a necessary evil for some kids, as long as it's a last resort thing. Forcing them to wash their mouth with soap crosses the line to sadism and abuse. It's too elaborate and humiliating.

In general, I believe punishments should be related to the crime so to speak, so it makes sense to the kid. It should be a consequence of their action, not a reactive response from the parent. Messed something up in the home? Menial cleaning chores for X days. Etc...

It's important for children to learn they may face physical consequences for their actions. If you only ever ground them they may end up being a shit head who thinks they can do what ever they want to people who don't have the authority to punish them.

I think the Authors Avatar, choice of words and rationale show that corporal punishment can have a lasting, ill effect.

If they were hitting someone and trying to scratch at someone else's eyes nonstop, then yes slap them. Any sort of slapping or corporal punishment should be reserved for them being violent towards others.

 

[Core Theorist]

I posted similarly elsewhere earlier, but I agree with the generalized sentiment already expressed in the thread that corporal punishment is an occasionally necessary, if gruesome punishment for children. It should be brisk and blunt, anything else like the soap example is just senseless sadism. Additionally, "what goes around comes around" (or 'the punishment fits the crime') is also a significant factor. Only when a child has severe physical misbehavior should the severe physical punishment be used. Something like a literal slap on the wrist for general childish mischief that isn't actually abnormal, that's more appropriate if you ask me.

Somebody who's immediate go-to for disciplining children is the physical reprimand is probably a faggot, raising a faggot.

Spanking and corporal punishment is one thing but you should never slap a child, that is abusive. I don’t think a child being violent themselves is sufficient or necessary to warrant corporal punishment. While spanking shouldn’t be a default response, there a situations where is does make sense, particularly when a child is putting themself or others in danger.

I’m a bit surprised by the general distain towards such a common method of discipline as washing one’s mouth out with soap. Senseless sadism seems a bit hyperbolic to me considering it’s a harmless and brief unpleasant experience which is effective at changing behaviour (i.e. brisk and blunt). It’s certainly nothing like forcing a child to kneel on rice grains for an extended period of time, which is a relatively common practice among brown peoples.

I think you're a massive retard if you punish your kids with physical violence, and is truly a testament of how shit you are as a parent since you need to resort to such measures.

If you were good or competent, you would not need to hit your kids.

 

[Red Poker Chip]

If done as punishment, it can serve as a learning experience which could later prevent the "find out" part of fucking around.

Physical punishment makes sense because it's important to learn that sometimes people will hit you if you fuck with them too much. It's a real world possibility as an adult. It doesn't matter if hitting and violence is right or wrong, what matters is that it's a reality of life. Nobody will ever wash your mouth out with soap as an adult, and using it as a punishment for swearing is retarded because adults swear all the time, more than children certainly. Soap in the mouth just doesn't make any sense, it's not consistent with realistic consequences as an adult.
