THANOSnot a parent, but i have 3 nieces and nephew all under 5 y/o and i’m a huge part of their lives
as someone that grew up being beaten (it’s not ‘discipline’ it’s child abuse - i got hit with a rolling pin once. nothing a 5 year old does warrants being hit with a rolling pin) i would never condone physical discipline with kids. there are better ways. miss me with the “spare the rod spoil the child” s***
real for that clarification. i think ppl need to hear it more often. hitting a child is child abuse, no way around it. miss me with all that fake ass discipline s***

CherrywineSpanking is only one form of positive punishment, but there are also other things like labor, extra chores, etc
What is the most effective method of punishment?
i believe positive punishment is more effective in the short term than negative punishment (don't quote me) but ultimately positive reinforcement is the best way to condition behavior i believe

That’s called negative punishment and seems to be less effective
Oct 26, 2022The best way to discipline is to develop a strong enough attachment to your kids to the extent that they mostly value your rules/boundaries and want to mimic you rather than outside influences.
