Whats the best way to spank a child?
Answer:

I deserved each and every spanking I got
There's nothing BEST about spanking a child. It teaches them to be afraid of you.
There is no good way to spank a child. As I'm sure you're aware, most people will disagree with you.
make em pick out a belt, then bend em over your knee and WACK. Not too hard though.
dont really think that there is a best way, spanking is spanking. but dont use a belt n dont do it too hard cause that will only make ur child hate u
DONT SPANK! That is the lazy way out of discipline. Why not try time outs or rewarding good behavior. You child looks to you for security and protection and you are going to cause her physical pain? WHY??
my daughter is still in diapers, and I just swat her behind...nothing hard, but the sound gets her attention. Please try every other alternative before you spank, some parents do go overboard with it, and having a child terrified of you is not the answer
you shouldn't spank a child. Heres a way you can punish them without them hating you. what you do is get a towel or a stool and when they get in trouble then you put them on the stool or towel and put them in a corner or in an empty room and tell them to sit there for a sertin amount of time and they cant move. Its a good technique
There is NO best way to spank a child. There are other ways to displine. Time out is a good one and loosing a privilege or sending them to there room whatever the age calls for. But not spanking.
children should not be spanked, you have to learn to discipline them properly.spanking is child abuse, would you like it if someone spanked you because you did something bad, like if the cops came and spanked you for speeding, i dont think so...also, sometimes spanking can lead to severe child abuse as well, and those children have a much more difficult time growing up and developing a strong sense of self esteem...they are also more prone to abusing their partners and children in the future....so treat children like you would want to be treated, because im sure u dont want to be spanked out of discipline
NOT TOO!
spanking raelly isn't nessary. a much better way to change their behavior is psycologically. teach them to behave correctly before they need discplinary action, if that fails then take away their favorate toy or use time out, whichever works best. And for the childs sake, explain to them how to behave correctly and what consequences they'll face if they don't.
with a news paper.
but dont beat them to death. what worked for me was, i got the newspaper and rolled it up. and i would hit the counter really hard. the kids would run to their rooms crying. because they knew it would hurt.
try not to use your hand, otherwise it becomes associated with punishment. my mum always used a wooden spoon. make sure you explain why you are giving the spanking, then give lots of hugs and kisses afterwards and make sure they know that it hurts you to have to punish them. make sure they understand what they did wrong, otherwise they may become resentful. hope this helps! and spanking is NOT child abuse. when it's used in the wrong way it is, but when only used for discipline, it is one of the best things because it's over quickly. i was spanked alot and i've turned out exceptional. make sure it's on the bottom though, because it's not got any muscles in it that will hurt for a long time if you spank them.
I find that time outs work well. Place the child in a time out seat. Tell the child why they are going on the naughty spot. Set a timer (one minute per year of age). Then, when the time is up, get on eye level with the child and talk about why they were placed in time out. The child must apologize to get up. We usually discuss what she could do to make the situation right again - apologize to the person she offended, pick up a toy she threw, etc. If my child is throwing a fit in public, I try if possible to remove them from the situation until they calm down.
Also, taking away something they liike for a set amount of time works well.
My doctor did recommend tapping the hand for serious offenses (like her biting - due to health risks).
not at all
Wow, this is a loaded question!
I generally don't spank my children unless its a safety issue IE they run out in the street.. I would rather them have a red mark on their butt than stitches in their head or killed by a speeding car! So the people who say you should never spank your child it will make them "afraid of you". Well that is exactly what I want, for them to be afraid of disobeying me... When I say Don't run out into the street.. I mean it for a reason. Its not because I m being mean.
As far as the best way, there is no "best way" other than telling your child why you are spanking them, and just getting it over with. Then afterwards re inforcing that you do this out of love, and that its important for them to obey.
Bear in mind, I came from an abusive home, spanking your child on the rear, is NOT the same thing as beating your child on the rear or anywhere else. Beating and being excessive is not acceptable ever. I generally never ever go over three swats just because its usually more than enough to get their attention.
I wish you luck.
u don't sick o jack @$$
Spanking is entirely appropriate punishment for small children, but there are right and wrong ways to do it. The seat of the pants is probably the best part of the body to spank as it can receive pain but there is little chance of doing any damage. Some say it’s best to use a paddle or strap instead of your hand as the child will come to associate what ever you use with punishment. I don’t think there is anything to that. If you do it right the child should associate the punishment with the bad behavior.
Also never punish out of your anger or frustration! Only to correct a specific defiant behavior.
As a punishment “Time outs” are mostly a waist of time unless there is a need for the child or you to have a chance to calm down. Children of loving caring parents do not resent the occasional corrective punishment they received.
Depends on the age. im not that formal. bending my children over my knee. i just grab the belt and chase em down. half the time i dont even spank em, i just make that snapping noise with the belt and that scares them and they stop what their doing. theyre 2 and 6
A couple swats on the bum never killed anyone. I often wonder if there's a relation between parents not spanking nowadays & some kids growing up rotten.
I just put them over my lap, but I only spank for serious issues of safety, lying, major disobedience, etc. My first line of action is always prevention, then reasoning and so forth.
Over your lap, with your hand. In private, not in front of other children. Bare bottom.
