I hear ya! Unfortunately, I got the latter (and got the therapy bills to prove it)
I have no problem with spanking a kid...I have a problem with beating. When you leave marks on a kid with a belt or an extension cord...that is child abuse
The kneeling thing is child abuse too
In my experience, time outs aren't worth isht.
Disrespect or talking back: a hand or paddle on the butt (not down with slapping across the face)
Misbehaving: take away something they enjoy
"Forgetting" chores: take something away
being irresponsible with possessions: hit them where it hurts: the pocketbook. Ya know that allowance you were getting? That item costs: $100. Your allowance is mine until it is paid off...
That usually does it
Oh yeah I am not down with kids having a TV in their room
If you want a game for your playstation: use your allowance or earn it by doing extra chores
