Disciplining Kids

I agree with what Marni said. Giving timeouts or taking things away from them works in most cases. So I think it is the best thing to do to discipline children.

Hi Guys, I am a fresh member of English Baby website and I have very little knowledge about it. Anyways, I enjoyed going through the comments on the above subject and I gained a little knowledge on what this website is all about. 

Well, I am not good at commenting but I am trying whatever I could. Spanking kids is so common in my country and so I don't feel so bad about it if it all does is to help parents discipline their children. Though you cannot beat the child so badly so that the child doesn't think his/her parents hate them. Please don't laugh at my comment, guys!

Thank you

if u don't spank even in the  worst situation then u really need to be be credited for making a delinquent child for the society! !

well , iam really confused because  it depends on the environment and the surroundings in which someone lives .But, parents should spank or punish their children somehow to keep them in line   what you think guys ? 

Hi all i need someone to help to learn english

I like this  topic…I hope I can keep it and use it…

I have several comment about the lecture.

1- the volume of the sound is low, so i can't hear it unless I put my headphone maybe I have trouble hearing.

2- It is a good lecture because have a lot of usefull vocabulary.

3- I think the best way to keep children in the line is to follow my steps:

A- to explain to the children that something they have done. it's not acceptable.

B- To encourage them if the don't do it again by give them some reward stuff or whatever.

C- to prevent them from something they like such as go a picnic with his/her friends.

D- to spank them to show them that you (parents) are angery.

sorry to made a long comment

I think the best dicsipline way is giving timeouts ,spanking isn't acceptable . Kids need love and care from their parents.

I think the kids need of discipline everyday because the education make do all time and I 'm firm with my chilrens !!

Disciplining Kids is the most sensitive subject to talk.
i believe we should spanking at the bottom line.
prevention is privilege on cure so it's privilege to teach them the way acting never be needed for spank.

 No choice but spanking in case a kid acts out badly like the kid below.

Someone made a good point…although I think it's very important to spank your child, you shouldn't do it too much.  It can have an adverse affect if you do it frequently.  That sort of dicipline should be when they have been very bad.

it is very difficult to disciplining kids. Sometimes parents do not be patient to versus kids behaver.  But parents must be very carefull, their child do not have to  hate parents.

I am still young.I don't have children,and I don't know what is the best way to discipline children.But I think spanking is OK.Sometimes,it's necessary.

Most of the children are stupid.They don't know right from worng.And sometimes,it's useless to reason with them.Then,what is the easiest way to teach them a lesson?The answer is "spanking".

It's really a very important problem .

It 's not good to spank kids  too often.my mom spanked me when i was  little ,so that i think she doesn't love me,even though she treats me kindly now.

sometimes parents should control their temper.Of course ,it's not easy to do that ,especially,when the kid do somethings wrong.

eh,if parents spank their children too often .both of parents and kids will feel sad and be hurted.

it 's really a difficult question.

First of all, Marni says "the 50's" when spanking was unquestionably the norm in the 80's and still predominant in the 90's.  Going all the way back to the 50's is silly.  I firmly believe in the old addage, "Spare the rod, spoil the child."  I remember that when I was little my mom used to switch me.  I would never have admitted it at the time, but I knew as a child that I was better for it.  I would get more and more of a bad attitude until my mom or dad put me in my place.  If they had put me in a "time out" or taken away my allowance, I think I might have laughed.  You play more of a political game with your own child when you do that.  The child needs to learn discipline and respect for his or her parents.  I have known people who were never spanked and you can always tell!  They are self centered and arrogant.  They think they are the authority on everything and you are beneath them.  These are very small people.  If you love your children, spank them.  And make it hurt!  The act itself wont' matter if it doesn't hurt.  You can always tell a difference in those who have been spanked and those who were not.  The proof is in the pudding.  Just because some people in recent years have started trying to say something else…well don't worry about them.  That's their problem.  It may be difficult on you, but spank (or switch) your child if you love them.  When they're older, they'll be glad of it!

i think childrens age between 2-5 years have different mind set than the childrens in 6-10 years. childrens are mostly quick learners. you can't whack them everytime, you can't threat each kid the same, because some kids are pretty much sensitive than the others. the best way to threat them is just to keep  them in such envirnment so that they can learn themselves. let them do make tiny mistakes, they gonna learn. just keep eye on them.Never be so close or so far from them emotinally. you always have to keep balance in attachment with them. parents need to know little bit of children psychology so that they can threat their kids right way. because their are so much things around that can have negative effect on them.

the parents are the first teacher in their life.we should do the right things in front of child.we are the model before their can not judge on their own which is wrong or right.
