My children are 19, 15 and 12, and they have never been "beat" or spanked...nor are they disrespectful, or in trouble. Not every child needs to be spanked...there are other, more respectful, less physical, less punitive, less damaging ways to discipline or teach a child the right way.

For some people that would be everyday, 20 times a day.  That kid would be black and blue from beating him.  How would that possibly work???? Not sure if you are aware if you beat your kids the system will take you away from them and put the parent in jail.  I don't believe beating thier ass will work. 

 I had to stay away from this board for the weekend just to cool down after reading your advice.  How can you even give that advice.  Incase you hadn't noticed this board is full of supportive parents trying to do what is right for their children.  I'm not saying it never gets heated around here because I have been in the middle of a few debates.  But I learned and grew from them.  How can I do that with your advice.  Are you trying just to get people mad.  What a waist of energy. 
How does beating them help.  You need to talk to them and help them to understand what they are doing is wrong and find a positive solution to their problem so they can grow and be an active member of society.  Spanking is another matter and that is a personal choice but beating come on!!  I feel sorry for your children if this is your outlook.  What a shame!

i hope you dont have a kid, cause u dont deserve one with that kind of abusive attitude

goodgosh do not listen to the above message, all u teach them then is violence and intolerance. i feel bad for that persons kids. they dont stand a chance.
