Yeah I don't trust people who use a belt or switch. That s*** sounds too much for anyone

there was a metastudy on this years ago

Spanking a kid butt with your hands isn't beating.

Getting a belt is slowly crossing that line.

A switch or branch or putting a bruise def is beating.

A lot of yall need not have children

Right

Wrong

Too many people in here talking about hitting their own children

Disgusting freaks

what do yall think about exercise as a form of punishment

the way her voice switched up at the end

That's the problem, lol. All of those could leave marks if used with enough force. Also, you could use a belt or a switch and still not "beat" a child or leave a mark. That's exactly why these discussions go nowhere because of what people conceive as meanings in their own mind and personal experiences.

Yeah that's true

What the hell lmao

You acting like everyone that got beat is traumatized LMAOO I still fw my parents heavy and I dont care because I deserved it as a child, I’m probably not gonna beat my kids but I ain’t afraid of my parents or sum

thanks childhood. now i spank all my b****es

low key hard

i think that’s a better alternative to physically striking your child but like once they refuse to do the exercise you’re back to sq 1

That’s because it is abuse.

Lmao taking stuff away (as long as the kids are taught and given ways to earn it back) is not mental abuse. ABA therapy (basically teaching that all actions have consequences - both positive and negative) is one of the only effective tools to treat autism disorder, but is also applicable and highly effective with most children/people

My mom used to beat me and i wasnt a bad kid, i love her but that s*** still has effect on me as a adult man if i ever have kids i wont hurt them, i know what it does, i dont blame my mama neither because thats what happened to her growing up, we need to break the cycle instead of continuing it

I’m not going to beat my kids. I got my ass beat and even when I wasn’t in the wrong I got my ass beat. I told my mom about that s*** recently and she didn’t even know what to say, and it’s hella embarrassing when they do that take you to the bathroom s***.

If I’m watching my nephew all I have to do is change my tone and make it clear I’m not playing with him and lil nigga would start tearing up and get his act straight.

There’s better ways to discipline your kids then physically harming them.

That's not what i said lol

Can’t believe there’s still a debate about this

Literally said "possibly damaged" niggas reading comprehension at all time lows

You're not normal, and posting on KTT isn't why you're not normal.

ion know man i got my ass whooped whooped big leather belt pants down style. but i also believe it comes down to your genetic makeup and cultural background on being able to handle ass whoopins. my parents and their parents got their asses whooped so it was in my genes to be able to jus take my ass whoopins as apart of life. ive done far more damage to my psyche through my own actions than a whoopin 20 years ago ever did
