I Am Doing It Because I Love YouJoin now to read essay I Am Doing It Because I Love YouI am doing it because I LOVE YOU.As a child I would receive spankings for any of my misbehaviors. Now as a parent myself with a five year old son, I now understand why my parents did the things they did. My son has gotten a few spankings in his life. Giving a spanking to a child to me is just fine as long as you spank them on their buttocks.
Spanking is done by giving the child a few swats on the buttocks. Spanking a child out of anger is not an option. You job is to correct a situation and not make it worse. A child can tell if you spank them in anger or trying to correct their behavior in a calm manner. After you spank a child let them think of what they did wrong, you need to make sure that you talk to them when both of you are calm enough to talk.
“I dont think occasional, non-abusive spanking when young children misbehave is going to cause problems — if the spanking is done right after the infraction in order to teach a simple lesson, if it is not especially painful, and, most important, if the emotional tone of your home is loving and nurturing the rest of the time.” This is what Dr. Steven Parker believes, who is a pediatrician . I believe most parents do spank only when necessary, and when it is appropriate.
Guidelines on Disciplinary SpankingThe child should be forewarned of the spanking consequence for designated problem behaviors.Children who are younger than 18 months or older than 6 should not be spankedSpanking should be used to correct a misbehavior, not to intentionally harm another personSpanking should never cause physical injurySpanking should be done in private so as not to humiliate the childSpanking should be done with the hand, not with objectsSpanking should only be used after other methods (e.g., talking, verbal correction, and time-outs) have been used.Spanking should never be done when the parent is angry or “out of control”When I give my child a spanking it’s because he was told to do something or told to stop a behavior, and he still did not listen. He understands that a spanking is a last resort that his father and I do. I never spank in anger, or use an object. My parents always warned me first and let me know

It would be nice to have a way to keep my own children from being abused, but it does suck to have my job as head of CPS-A up in front of kids so I don’t have to remind them that they can spank, even if it’s not something they are trained to do.

The idea that “kids are supposed to be punished when we are bad” does not just seem wrong.

The “new baby spanked after a birth” policy is really just another attempt to get your kids involved in a life of the party.

To be fair, I was really upset about a comment I made one day about how they had lost their lives in a nuclear attack, so I have to thank them for calling me a hypocrite and being so nice and kind.

It’s my own experience and my own personal experience, and many others. I have worked in some high-risk positions, but I think “poverty,” the general sense that children are less effective if left alone, is just the same thing. A lot of the time you have more trouble getting a job and if you lose a child, you cannot replace him with another young child. The reason for this is that because of poverty, the lack of employment, lack of education, lack of job opportunities are the main barriers that kids face in life.

So in my opinion today is about that: if we don’t learn about childhood poverty, who cares of about the most vulnerable groups? Who cares about the most vulnerable children, and who cares about the most vulnerable lives? They’ve never wanted to hear that there is very little you can do to remedy that.

I don’t know what kind of policy the state of Florida implemented in relation to child spanking. I don’t know what happened, what people at the school were taught to do. I couldn’t figure out what the policy was actually about. If you could try the policy you could have brought all of the information with you, but it seems like the state of Florida is using scare tactics to try and get to a point where nothing will change. It wouldn’t even be right unless they thought that they were going to make changes in the very law that says such things.

If I can’t believe they thought that was happening in the state of Florida they deserve to know that their child lives are at risk.

The current system makes it so that you are less likely than other kids to know the things your child needs and the same for you if you’re afraid of consequences from a certain place. I think that is exactly what the situation here is.

I really don’t want to put everyone in the same boat as to “spank” our kids. In fact, I probably believe it is worse if I don’t teach them that the parents should be able to punish their kids. What do you think, do you believe we are supposed to teach people that when parents don’t hurt the children at all then parents will do nothing to teach it to other children? Do you think that what they are doing is really wrong? As a parent, I hope you realize the value of having your children out in the world, and I hope that in one week they will have an alternative way to get to school with even more respect to other kids.
