Because a parent child relationship is not the same as a boyfriend girlfriend relationship

If my kid was acting up I would take video games, television, etc from them.

If my girlfriend does something I don’t like and I take things from her that is abusive because it’s not my place to discipline my girlfriend

His commentary was uninsightful and unnecessary. He's talking about something an 7 or 8 year old girl did years ago. Calling her stupid for s*** that is her mom's fault.

And Kodak is not a savory character. We should go through his record and check how much he needs to be whooped. He has a big log in his eye and he didn't even say anything smart about the topic.

Why is the relationship not the same? Does bringing somebody into the world give you an intrinsic right to hit them?

Spanked kids=better kids

People with FAR more experience parenting and FAR more experience in familial psychology have all come together and said that hitting you children in any way shape or form leads to terrible behavioral patterns

We’ve literally linked studies itt that show that that s*** is terrible for kids but people will still come here and say “no! It happened to me and I’m great so it’s actually great!”

What’s your basis for this claim

All I know is that a huge amount of this thread has done no formal education on child development and the effects of physical discipline

He about to get Chris Rocked out his socks

Non spanked kids tend to be spoiled little disobedient brats

You’re conflating a lack of spanking with a lack of overall parenting

how about taking things away from them? you know, the opposite of the approach you’d use if you wanted to reward them for doing something you want?

The relationship is not the same because one is romantic and with a peer.

The other is with somebody you’re trying to raise.

Again if my girlfriend does something I dislike and I take her phone that is abuse.

If my child does something I dislike and I take their phone. That’s me punishing my child.

The reason why these two situations are different even though they are the same action is because the relationship dynamics are different

So does bringing somebody into the world give you the instrinsic right to hit them?

damn i was wondering why some of u are terrible posters and now i see that y’all were beaten as kids it all makes sense

Would you agree this might be an anecdotal viewpoint and not holistic in ways a comprehensive study would be?

You can discipline your child as you see fit within the parameters that we as a society have agreed upon.

A smack on the bottom or hand is ok. Beating the s*** out of your kid is not.

Taking a cell phone or a video game console is ok. Locking your child in a room indefinitely for days is not.

Taking away desert is ok. Making your child starve is not

What is your basis for this claim

So does bringing somebody into the world give you the intrinsic right to hit them?

professionals have collectively agreed that doing that is terrible for the child, so even those smacks are not okay.

If none of those is ok then at that point there’s nothing you can do lol

Like at what point does it stop

LOLLLLL

“If I can’t hit my kids then how can I be a good parent?”

That doesn’t always work. It’s prob just as effective as whooping

There are quite a few parenting strategies that don't involve physical discipline

Inductive parenting for one
