:hi:Hello class! My name is Kaneki Kun and I will be your teacher for the day, today we will discuss the difference between Physical Abuse and Physical Discipline.
It appears members on the base can't tell the difference so I'm here to inform all of you on the subject!
Please remain seated until the bell rings.


Unlike with the various child abuse types, discipline is
used in order to alter or change a child’s behavior and is exacted out of love
and the desire of parents to help their child recognize right from wrong.

Discipline is not carried out with malicious or cruel intent. The intent of the
action is just as important as the severity of the action and the damage that
is caused.

:whip:

While victims of child abuse may experience extreme
bruising, deep laceration, swelling, and fractures from physical abuse, a child
who is being disciplined may receive a quick spanking.

:beat: vs :NO:

Victims of child abuse are often beaten, verbally
attacked, or
threatened on a regular basis for no apparent reason. Discipline should be
carried out occasionally and in direct response to a negative behavior that was
displayed by the child.
Victims of child abuse are frightened into obeying a
parent or a guardian and acknowledging their control. On the other hand,
discipline seeks to teach a child what is right from what is wrong so that they
may eventually be independent of their parents.

There are many important differences between abuse and
discipline. It is a parent’s job to discipline their child so that the child
grows up knowing what is acceptable behavior and what is not.
As long as a
parent or a guardian of a child does not cross the line from discipline to
abuse, then the parent has a right to discipline their child and should not be
afraid that they are doing something wrong.
:hint:

That's it class, if you have any questions please ask respectfully down below in the thread.
Thank you for reading and have a nice day! *Bell Rings*
:win:

There is a very fine line between physical abuse and physical discipline. At what point does this "discipline" become abuse? When it becomes regular? When there's too much carried out in one go but it doesn't happen often? One can claim to be dishing out "disciplinary" punishment that is of physical nature, but if they're not careful it can become abuse regardless of intent.

You are trying to make a controversial subject sound childish and simple. I agree with you to an extent but how can one be sure a "quick spanking" isn't still effecting a child's phychosis? Children are not all the same, and some take pain or punishment different from others, so generalizing this into an "I'm right and your wrong" situation is nearly impossible.

Discipline is when you don't leave marks.

Not all marks left behind are physical. Though, it really depends on how the recipient feels about it. Some people are more sensitive than others.

Correct, that is why parents or legal guardians need to be self aware when it's enough. Extreme
bruising, deep laceration, swelling, and fractures is when it gets out of hand and falls under the category of child abuse. Also you can't mentally scar them.
If the bad behavior continues that's when you might have to
1)Use effective discipline methods to respond to misbehavior helps the child learn self-control and helps create a happy atmosphere at home.
2)Divert the child's attention from something you don't want him to do or use positive models to change behavior.
3)Be firm about behavior you feel strongly about one last time.
4)Send them to boot camp.
5)Seek help from a doctor.

He didn't specify what kind of marks. I feel like as long as a mark isn't left then you know.....

Amen. Children are something of significant complexity, meaning every child is different and will responded differently to physical reprimandment or any type of displine at all.

You talk to them, ask them how they feel, do they understand why they were wrong for what they did.
Keep them close, communication is vital.

Not all children communicate very well, such as children with anti social disorders

That is when you take a different approach. For kids with with mental disorders positive reinforcement is the best thing you can do to make them behave.
Obviously this doesn't apply to every child out there due to X amount of variables, but it does help with the majority. For those who are in the minority thier all different ways to deal with them.

I've never seen a child act out after being spanked. I've seen plenty act out after being told not to. Growing up, kids grandparent's would beat them to "put the fear of God in them". Builds character better to hit them now, then have the law hit them later

I have no kids however I constantly used to babysit (still do on occasion) (both regular kids and kids with mental disorders such as Autism, rettsyndrome, down syndrome, speech impairment, delayed learning disability, etc) my cousins, sisters, younger related relatives, kids from neighbors and so on ever since I was 12. (not trying to brag but I was quite mature and trustworthy at my age due to things in life)
I've helped raised some of them for extended periods.
I love kids, it's always fun teaching them new thing and watching them grow.
