"Spanking" daughter contained by front of her siblings?
She be warned, and she still acted up. He had no choice but to do what he did. She tested him, and she failed. Next time she think about it, she'll remember this.
I believe all is far in love and war which usually applies to parenting. The reality is in war fear is a switch part in keeping the public (Family) in constant recession so they don't eccentric. Smacking children in front of others will distill fears upon the fragile minds of them so they don't rebel. Use this as a tactic. Sometimes my mom sent me to the basement (Old wood concrete and machines) because I have a tantrum at age 4. I nearly died of fright but I didn't act out.
Well, at the age of 12, you shouldn't be spanking your daughter anyway! There are much more efficient ways to punish a child of 12, like taking away her computer priveleges for a day or something, a bit than referring to violence...
But, if you really must spank your child, at the age of 12, it should be done in private. Your child has reach the stages of puberty, and she is very timid about her body and her moods are very fragile, so even though she probably wouldn't be anxious usually, because she gets mood swings so easily now, that might be it. Just to respect your daughter's privacy surrounded by these embarrassing stages of puberty, I'd spank her up in her bedroom, or at least not contained by front of her siblings.
Oh, and DEFINATELY spank her up in her room when company is over. She will die of embarrassment if you do it in public, I swear, she will despise you! Source(s): My scholarship about children and puberty
In my opinion, conversation back to ur parents is not acceptable so she deservered to be embarrased. It also shows the other kids that they should behave but there is no right or wron style to raise kids and this is just my opinion Source(s): My kids
She said "a few choise words" so he hits her, now who acting like a child?
violence is not always the answer
perchance the have things the are trying to cope with and just want to be talked to
but private is more appropriate
She is 12 years old, and too OLD For a spanking. Take some parenting classes it will do you some good.
I believe things approaching that should be done in private.
It depends on how old the siblings were. If they're frail enough to understand punishment (maybe around 3+) than it's fine. Sometimes they need to be confused a bit to improve their attitude, & being that it was surrounded by front of siblings, it's not a big deal. Although I would not spank her in front of guests.
I don't spank my kids.
If you are still spanking at that age, it really should be done privately. It's much different than for a 4 year old, whose self awareness and attention span is much different. I would start veering off spanking by the teens though and switch on taking away privileges instead. A reward and consequence system is more age appropriate because they are mentally capable of understanding the concepts and it teach responsibility. Source(s): A.S. Early Childhood Education
