Do you agree that there is a difference between discipline and abuse?

[Tyrannus]

Some believe that a form of discipline such as a few spanks when a child does something that they know they are not supposed to do is the same as child abuse, others think otherwise.

what is your opinion on discipline and do you think their is a difference?

Don't hit yo kids or I will **** you up.

 

[lswhyte123]

There is a difference and that is my opinion.

These rules are in place however to help avoid/reduce the chances of people simply slipping from disciplining their kids to abusing them. Sometimes the lines are blurred and having physical discipline as an option simply leaves too much room for abusers to take advantage.

 

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

Physical discipline is better. Just my opinion. Words most of the time won't just make a rebellious kid stop his/her antics.

I don't have kids, so I really don't know much about raising them, but I don't think spanking children is the way to go. I don't think you'll teach much to them through violence.

I think that putting the kid on a couch, and talking to them about what they did works far better.

Parents that don't discipline their children turn to sluts and annoying maggots when they grow up.

not disagreeing with you, but what about taking the time to sit with the child and let them know why they received the punishment

 

[Senju Bean]

I was when I was young.

I automatically punch anyone in the face that lays a hand on me.

It has gotten me in trouble quite a few times( suspended from school, etc) .

Did it work? no.

 

[The Dreamer]

Ofc there's a difference. Those who claim they're the same are just brats who don't know their place.

 

[Tera Path]

There is a difference between physical discipline and abuse.

My mother would always repeat the same things over and over if I didn't do them, and then she would scold me, and if I still wouldn't do it she would use physical discipline.
Sometimes she legitimate went wayyy overboard to the point of abuse and I hate her for that, but hey if it wasn't for that I wouldn't really have any manners or a sense of duty.

I think the reason that it went from physical discipline to abuse is because of pent up anger and/or stress.

different strokes for different folks i guess.

some kids.. some are incorrigible. imo the main objective is to get them to understand the repercussions of certain actions.

Pretty much this

Or has the opposite effect than what was intended.

Yeah, I could've ended up running away from home or some shit.

Good thing I'm not a dense spoiled brat that takes everything for granted.

 

[slimreaper]

More kids today need their ass beat IMO

 

[Punk Hazard]

I believe that there is a difference between discipline and abuse. I also believe that if you need to strike your child to discipline them, then you've failed as a parent already.

If school and work can give you repercussions for undesirable actions without physically abusing you, why can't parents?

Surprising you didn't run away.

Abuse creates vengeful people.

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

There's no point in sugar coating it, you're hitting your kid. If a cop saw you do that you'd go to jail.

That doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong though.

 

[Fireplay]

There's a huge difference. A few spankings whenever your child does something he's not supposed to do is acceptable imo, as long as you don't overdo it.

Never hit them though.
