Do you spank your kids? Do you think spanking is a form of child abuse? Did your parents spank you when you were a child?
We have different ways on how to raise and discipline our kids. We punish our kids when they are naughty and sometimes we reward them when they do something good. I do spank my kid when he is misbehaving. He is naturally naughty and I can do nothing about it bu if his behavior is getting worse, I have to spank him and it’s not bad parenting, it’s discipline.
I was spanked as a kid and I know I deserved it. Well, yes, I was mad to my parents when they were scolding me but now as an adult, I have realized that it’s part of being a daughter. I do not find it abusing because it’s what I get for being bad.
I do spank my kid if it’s necessary. It’s part of disciplining him. I do not spank him that hard, just enough pain to let him know that he has done something not right and I also I give him lots of chances to make things right and reason out before I do. I do not spank him in public because it’s embarrassing to both of us.
We can never agree on what is the right technique to discipline our children. Some prefer spanking while others do not. How about you, do you spank your kids?

Yes at some point when all the talking and explaining didn’t do any good. a little kurot minsan talaga pag d na makuha sa saway, or palo ng ruler sa palad, if sobrang kulit na.. pero when they got older wala na, kasi they are naturally mababait naman. We all had different ways to bring-up our kids and discipline them, some worked with the others and some are not. Basta not to the extend of abusing them physically and verbally specially in public or in front of their friends, magrerebelde talaga mga yan.
My husband and I also use spanking in discipling our children but we always see to it that we talk to them afterwards to explain why we have to punish them. We also implement time-outs.
I do spank my child. She is aware of our rules and when she intentionally breaks them, that’s when she’ll get the spanking. I don’t see it as abuse because it’s just one palo and the rules that we set are for her safety (no running in the street, don’t open the door by herself, don’t touch the stove etc) She’s more scared of the idea that we are mad at her than the idea of being spanked.
I do spank my daughter but it’s very rare and on extreme cases only.
We spank our son, too, but we realize it’s not effective anymore because when he feels he’s going to be spanked, he runs to the bathroom to hide. Lol! He’s actually more afraid of time-outs.
We spank our child. In fact, we have guidelines for spanking.

No, i do not spank my kids, both of them grew up without laying my hands on them. JM my eldest now 22 and Yahmir my youngest at 13 yrs. old knew from the beginning that my husband and i will not hurt them but their misbehavior will put them grounnded over some things they enjoy to use or play.
I do bugbog them pag mali ang ginagawa..
