Quote From: momapeg01 My sister is a teacher in an African American community. I
have sat in on her classes. The kids in her class were
totally out of control. They roamed the room while she was
speaking, played with each other and generally were totally
unresponsive to her warnings. When she contacted the parents by
phone and had them talk to their child, they acted as though they never
even spoke with their parent when they hung up. They actually
laughed at her! It is obvious that the parents do not participate
in disciplining their children. They could use a paddling.
Nobody should mix up corrective spanking with cruel spanking. And I agree, u might need to spank just once nd d msg is sent across. I watch this new breed of brats being raised today and shudder at the level of indiscipline, disregard and disrespect they exhibit. Imagine when a parent tells his kid to "stop doing that right now!" only for the kid to continue with whtever he/she is doing!!!!!!!! They hv no more regards for parents and it is saddening. Gone are the days when one word from a parent is enough to put child right. I think this is cos parents hv truly lost all parental controls by being lax in their duties. These brats knw they can get away with anything nowadays. Call your child to order ; heart to heart talks work and truly, every child needs a different technique. Some kids dont need spanking at all while some do. When your child slaps your face what do u do? Take away his toys? Ground him? or what? But above all, i think parents should put themselves right first b4 they cld succeed with their kids. Cussing, criticising and bullying ur kid often does an unimaginable damage to your child. the child might become rebellious.
