did you ever stop to think that you may cause your children to hate you if you continue to spank at 11-13 |

That's great !I applaued you . Do you use a belt, or paddle, when spanking your kids ? |

Mary ... If Gary thinks he still needs barebottom spanking, it just shows how ineffective and counter-productive the spankings and beatings in his earlier life were.
*****
oh the irony
how true ...more likely is Gary is here to cause a wee bit of strife just stopping by stirring up the pot ...doubt he means it literally most likely in a deviant manner
honestly - it is heartbreaking to hear that children are humiliated with pain as a form of punishment |

As an adult even?! Sorry Gary but your comment makes me ill! |

---Mary on 11/8/09 |
I still remember those days when I got the cane to my BARE TUSH , and yes it did help me overcome all the bad character and bad traits I was born with. I think even today as an adult I could use a good dose of discipline for my naughtiness and you know where it should be administered. PANTS DOWN & BOTTOMS HIGH UP IN THE AIR. thank you . Gary |

I agree with the moderator.
Spanking at that age is humilation
rather than discipline. It is abuse. |

Jesus Christ told us to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute us. If someone hits us on one cheek, turn the other cheek & let them hit that one, too. Are we supposed to treat our own children worse than we treat our enemies? NO. The age of the child makes no difference except the smaller they are the more hateful it is to spank them. Jesus did not teach us to be violent. Matthew 18:6 Jesus said,"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." Teach them about God. Pray for them & about them. |

I wouldn't say you should pull down the pants EVERY time you spank but the threat should be there and children should know it could happen and when they step over the line there no questions asked or discussions only : Pants Down and Bottoms Up . administer what is called here in England SIX OF THE BEST |

---maria on 9/3/09 |
Persons of the age you list are far too old for spankings. There are too many options available that can be employed to discipline, (not punish) a young person. For example: Taking away a cell phone, grounding, curtail of social activities, etc. |

Mark Eaton,
You see I differ from you because I understand abuse different from discipline, I don't know anyone that say they were beaten as badly as we were as children my father would strip a tree branch and leave three leaves at the top and when he finished there wasn't a leaf to be found if he couldn't find what he called his swish, leather/plastic belt often we would get the leather belt( he'd even send us to get a belt to beat us with) which we'd give him because we wouldn't get burns from it.
What I am saying is if at the last resort all else fails charts, whatever a sure sharp slap is not abuse! |

Alan,
Give God a great big hug and kiss because you were one of the very fortunate people that unless you read my post incorrectly were praised that you could with the help of your late wife bring your children up in that manner.
BUT...
However
children were experimenting with drugs/sex at the age of 5/7 upwards I smoked because my friends were smoking, I tried marijuana, leb and speed because all my friends were trying it, but not once did I have to speak to my sons about drink and drugs they live and grew up where it is rife
I am 45 years of age and if you can calculate
It means when you were thinking how innocent children were It most certainly was NOT the case for many! |
|
---Carla3939 on 9/2/09 |
Violence never accomplished a thing That's abuse) I'm not talking about abuse, it is far cry away from a corrective slap now and again.
It won't work for many but for those that understand themselves God and Life know a correct slap won't damage a child's intellect understanding or life.
I know well adjusted God fearing/serving Christian people know EXACTLY where I am coming from!
I don't mean the kind that use the words and names but violate every rule in the book! |
|
---Carla3939 on 9/2/09 |
Carla ... I live in the "real world", not in an "idyllic world".
My wife was and I am "everyday people"
We had outside influences, but although these caused the children to be less than perfect, fortunately they did not cause us as parents to think that beating children was an acceptable way of continuing discipline.
I'm glad of that. ... and sorry that outside influences led you to think that beating almost-adult children is necessary. |

---alan8566_of_uk on 9/1/09 |
John:
Let me tell you what you are doing from the son's perspective.
If he has not already, your son will grow to hate you and your "god". Anything and everything that has to do with you, he will hate.
He will be unable to relate to God the Father, our loving Heavenly Father, because of his relationship with you. He will not trust people, trust God, or trust you.
My own father, a pastor, spanked and physically struck me until I was out of his house. I left home at 17 and never spoke to my father again until I confronted him about his parenting skills, twenty years later. |
|
---Mark_Eaton on 9/1/09 |
Alan,
I am talking to people who live in the real world, not a idyllic world where two people come together with an understanding of discipline, work together as a family and can constructively work with their children in a non aggressive manner because the balance of love understanding and family life is not a hard nut to crack.(some families are blessed) but not the majority of families.
I am talking about everyday people who don't have that type of balance, their children do as they like, Parents do their best with their children but there are outside influences that effect the way a person perceives how they should and should not discipline their children. |

And what is your point? It can do harm, not least of degrading your children. I would urge you to try talking and reasoning with them instead. Striking someone is no way to show Christian love, least of all to your precious children. Violence begets violence |

It works?
After 15 years, he still has not learnt.

I spank my 15 yr old son with his boxers down and bent over couch and use long wooden hairbrush. I usually stop after he has been crying and if it is something serious i will continue for a long time until he has gotten the message. I think it works as he learns that if he misbehaves, he will be punished. His younger brothers have seen him getting spanked and they never misbehave as they don't want it to happen to them. But my oldest son needs it more often. |
|
---John on 8/31/09 |
Carla ... now that's funny you needed to beat them even when they were bigger than you.
I've four children, (all now welll groen up) and after a one or two single slaps on the thigh when they were toddlers, neither my wife nor I ever hit them.
Strangely, they never went to jail. |
|
---alan8566_of_uk on 8/31/09 |
Alan, the bible tells us that God disciplines those whom He loves. Have you ever seen God pull down someone's pants and spank them? You ARE doing them harm. If you think you're not, you're deceived. But it's a harm that wounds go deep inside their being that can never be healed.
What you are doing is punishment, and abuse. My father whacked me with a black strap when HE got angry for what HE thougt were just reasons - that left me a very angry young lady who grew into a very angry young adult and then I had to cry out to God to heal me and deal with him. Punishment and abuse is different from disciplining kids. You need help, please seek professional help if you are spanking 11 and 13 yr old kids. |

There your children and if you feel that you need to spank their backsides as long as you don't break the skin or bruise them you are the parent and entitled to discipline your own children.
*****
and where does it say FROM scripture:
1) to strip children naked
2) to not break their skin
3) to not bruise them
self professing RELIGIOUS christianity has become MORE WARPED and sexually deviant as the age draws to an end
beating a naked child is sexually perverted and God have mercy on the souls of the parents who practice this vile behavior
spanking a child is found in Gods Word however not one word supports humiliation and REMOVING their clothes |

Don't be fooled by the ''Do Gooders'' their not the ones that will have to go down the local station to get them out of jail when things spiral outta control later in life.
You bet my kids get a clap on their kin, now and again I have six Two in University (look where they are now) and when they grew too old I stood on the chair and expressed what they'd get they weren't too old!
Never once did I have to go to collect them from jail! |

---Carla3939 on 8/30/09 |
spanking pre-teens and teenagers is a LAZY hateful ignorant parents abuse of POWER and CONTROL who twist Gods Holy Word to appease their deviant sexual appetite by stripping children of clothes beating them is sexually perverted
...at this age less than a decade away from adulthood it TEACHES nothing other than a quick VERY brief sting of pain and humiliation from parent for whatever wrong ...it does not teach correction responsibility or communication only anger and hate ...the sexual undertones of this warped form of POWER by out of control adults are carried through life by the child affecting work, future relationships and often resulting in very deviant behavior as they learn to associate pleasure with pain

Char...My comment regarding CPS was meant as a wake-up call for you. To even think that taking clothes down on a child to spank is not child abuse is pathetic. The spanking itself is child abuse, but the other part is sexual abuse. The problem with this kind of treatment is that the spanking is usually administered when the parent is angry. |
|
---SusieB on 8/28/09 |
Wow!Spanking at 11 and 13. I believe is humilation at this age. preteen and a teenager YOU do not have to spank to "get you point across" at this age there are many things you can do.No allowance, TV, Malls, can not talk to or visit friends for period of time etc. |
|
---BB on 8/28/09 |
call cps..Huh?(only response):spirit (behind)comment questionable.
Alan,
I'm thinking...your question on a Christian Blog,is seeking advise.
God as Father is the best Parent who gives the Best advise...
we can try but may fail.
James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom,let him ask of God That giveth to all liberally,and upbraideth not ,and it shall be given him.
Here's the beauty in you as a parent.
If you didn't love your children you wouldn't discipline them.
The World has ways of twisting things...
Reading the "Frequently asked question" on the website Elder Phil posted.
I think I may understand comments that of Phil and Donna.
Praise God,God is judge.
Holy Spirit guides. |

Phil the Elder --
I googled
THE GLOBAL INITIATIVE TO END ALL CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN
It's as I suspected, a part of the UN effort to bring about global governance...and set themselves up as the supreme expert on all matters of life and behavior, for the rest of us morally retarded and probably illiterate primitives.
Needless to say, I don't respect their "authority" about anything much. |
|
---Donna66 on 8/25/09 |
Char....Call CPS and see if they think that pulling a child's underwear down and spanking them is "border line abuse" or not. |
|
---SusieB on 8/25/09 |
cont'...
11 yrs is still pre-teen.
Pray and ask your Father how to transition into the next step.
Our children have been assigned to us for guidence.
They need to be aware the presence of God,Our Father is real.
Moving forward into adulthood,Our Heavenly Father continues the correction in our earthly parents absence.
I hope this helps. |

I can't judge you.
My concern is the emotional harm.
This can be border line abuse.
Teach them repentance and remission.
Pray with them to the Father in the Name of Jesus for forgiveness for what they may have done.
Teach with the Word of God,let him so the spanking.
Parent to Parent.
God is OUR PARENT,
we as earthly parents,still need correction.
Through mercy and grace,he forgives us. |
|
---char on 8/25/09 |
They are too old for this, and I think that the only thing that you are teaching them right now is to resent you, just like I still resent my mom for spanking me when I was a teen. And she spanked me over some pretty stupid stuff! |
|
---amand6348 on 8/24/09 |
Jake....It's not the spanking that is the problem. It is the humiliation of having your pants down that is the problem. Would you do this to your daughter? |

---SusieB on 8/22/09 |
What???? They are still children at ten. God says "Spare the rod and spoil the child." I think that's your answer. However you want to interpret that. |

Alan ... What sort of offences do they commit that demand spanking?
And does the spanking have the effect of improving their behaviour? |
|
---alan8566_of_uk on 8/22/09 |
They are too old for spanking. They are only learning REBELIOUSNESS and to be a control freak for the rest of their lives.
Do you want them to learn to be good people because they fear spanking or because they have learned to make good decisions on their own??
They are children, they are supposed to be mischievious and discover for themselves the folly and shortcomings of bad decisions so that they can learn how to make BETTER and wise decisions in the future when you are not around (or is it your intention to handicap their learning?).
They need to learn that the penalty for a bad decision is "personal FAILURE", not "your WRATH". |

---more_excellent_way on 8/22/09 |
Did it occur to you that stripping and spanking these children as they begin sexual maturity could easily get them to associate pain with sexual pleasure, and thus turn them into either sadists or masochists?
Or do you care?
Are you sure there's not a hint of this in your own motivations for doing so? |
|
---Cluny on 8/22/09 |
Their not to old to spank, but I would leave the pants on..I would start slowing down on the spankings with the 13 year old, the teen years are tough enough, try grounding at times. remember back when you were that age. |

Proverbs 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons, for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? Spanking or rodding, it's up to the parent. global initiative? you sound like an ecumenical antichrist NWOist. humiliating? you think you spank kids as a reward? As a young child u hate it cause it hurts. damn right when u get older it will be humiliating! If your child is too rebelious to heed your more merciful methods, you better get them under control - you will answer for how you raised your child as well. Cite verses. |
|
---Jake on 8/22/09 |
harm? private parts? you realize there are some ppl who grew up with some serious spankings and they are fine?
age 10? who drew the line? the line is drawn by the parent.
provoke children? if you spanked them for no reason yes, but not if they did something wrong!
geez! |

---Jake on 8/22/09 |
Depending what state you are in corporal punishment of any one under 18 may be considered child abuse. Even if done in the home. The Adult can be charged with criminal assault on a minor the children can be removed from the family some times for years.
There are only 21 states that still allow corporal punishment in the classroom [and a parent can still do it spank as well]. Any where else it may be dangerous for the Adult
There is a group called THE GLOBAL INITIATIVE TO END ALL CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN they are the primary force leading the change statutes on a world wide basis Including initiatives to change the text of the Bible. If this bothers you, check them Out!!! |
|
---Phil_the_Elder on 8/21/09 |
Mod is 100% correct. The humiliation you inflict on them is far worse than the physical pain caused by your spankings. Scripture says we are not supposed to provoke our children. Ephesians 6. At 11 and 13, they are intellectuallly developing to where they can understand reason and start processing critical thinking. Instead of tapping into that, you are humiliating and degrading them. |

---Trish9863 on 8/21/09 |
