Quote From: mom121802 My fiance and I totally disagree on our parenting. My daughter is a typical 3 year old little girl. I was not only hit I was abused by my mother. I feel you should never put your hands on a child. They are so small Compared to an adult hands. There is time outs!!! Be patient.!!!
Taking toys away. SPANKING IS THE EASY WAY OUT!!!!!!!!!!! Would you hit someone your own size if they did not listen to you NO WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!! So why hit a little person who looks up to us
My fiance understands where I come from but we disagree on spanking.
Great post, I think this is what it's all about!! How can someone inflict pain on someone he/she loves??
I really pray that you can convince your fiance that spanking is always wrong. We were never ever spanked at home and we turned out great. So there is nobody in the world that can convince me that spanking is ok. I don't have any children of my own so I don't have any experience on child care, but as i did put it on another board: spanking is inflicting pain on a child to get it to listen to you. As far as I'm concerned, the words 'inflicting pain' and 'child' should never be used in one sentence. It is my personal opinion that spanking is a form of child abuse. Other people may see it different, but for me it is.
Thank you for your great post. I pray that it opens a lot of eyes here.
