    2 Stars Dont spank your child in the name of DISCIPLINE! 12/08/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Doesn't have any

    Disadvantages Disadvantages spanking doesn't work because it sends the wrong message

    I remembered being spanked a lot as a girl. My father spanked his children for any infraction, ranging from being disrespectful to not eating our food, because that's how things were being handled when he was a child. spanking is too light a word. we call them "whuppings". My brothers get hit with belts, twigs and branches off trees. Now as a mother, I am putting an end to the culture of corporal punishment in my own family, because there are better ways to communicate with a child than putting your hands on them, and I am happy that many parents are following this steps also. I only wish that ... more

    5 Stars Set boundaries in a loving way 17/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A well behaved child that you can take anywhere without worrying

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A brat who can't be controlled

    I must begin this opinion by saying that I speak as someone who has no children and who will never be having any children (due to a hysterectomy). So I am writing this only from the viewpoint of someone who used to be a child! Some would say I still am, but that’s another story. I will start by explaining my own childhood discipline to you. I don’t remember ever being smacked by my parents although I’m sure that I must have been at one time or another. Obviously it didn’t cause me any great problems in later life if I can’t even remember it. I was taught right ... more

    4 Stars IT WAS HIM NOT ME 14/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages to tame disruptive children ,to teach right from wrong

    Disadvantages Disadvantages some parents go over the top

    Ok so the children are playing up again and you are getting well and truely fed up with it so what do you do? Well the question is easy but the answers are not quite so.... Firstly you will have to decide if that child is really being naughty . Sometimes it can just be a misunderstanding. A childs thoughts work different to an adults view. Lets take a small example now you have a child of 3 or 4 and he has seen you decorating the house. Nice wallpaper and paint. The child then one day goes outside playing and you find him or her slapping lots of mud all over the walls of the house or doors ... more

    4 Stars Where do you draw the line? 11/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Well behaved Children

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Upset children and parents

    My daughter is 3, and I do not profess to know all of the answers in regard to discipline, and to be honest I do not think this subject is black or white, just very grey. Each child will react to different forms of discipline, depending on their personality, but I still think there is a line between discipline and abuse that is all too easy for some parents to cross. Already I have learned that discipline is a very important part of our lives as parents. It is not really something that can be taught, and we learn as we go along, making mistakes and learning by them, as I am sure what works for ... more

    3 Stars A battle of Wills 04/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A small smack won't hurt your child

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It might go further

    As a parent of four completely different natured daughters, I feel that I have some kind of practical experience on the subject. Aged 9, 8,3,and 1, you don’t need to be a brain surgeon to work out how hectic our household is. My littlest girls are really quite easy at the moment to disciple, a firm no usually suffices with my toddler. There has been the odd occasion where a gentle tap on her hand has reminded her of the meaning of the word no. As far as three year olds go she is really quite easy going and highly intelligent, which leads me to believe that we could be in for trouble in ... more

    1 Star It's Called ABUSE - Plain and Simple 30/03/2002
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Absolutely None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Most Likely Emotionally Scarred for Life

    If you've read my previous opinions, you probably know by now that I am a receptionist/secretary in an ophthalmologist's office. On Thursday, which coincidentally was full moon for this month, I saw two incidents of abuse. The first was upsetting enough, but the second literally broke my heart. The first incident occurred when a man, whom I'd guess to be in his late sixties brought in his very elderly mother for an eye problem. The first hint that he had next to no patience with her was when he had to find her medical insurance card in her wallet. His exact words were (and she could hear him) ... more

    3 Stars Change your child for another 19/09/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages You may get one that doesn't tantrum

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I just want my own child to behave!

    I was at the supermarket with my daughter the other day (as usual) and I realised that she had a dirty nappy. As we headed towards the toilets I noticed the sign on one of the doors - "baby changing room". I have seen this sign many times before, but on this occasion an alternative meaning of this phrase hit me. I thought for a brief moment about how I would love to go into this room with my daughter and come out with another child - a mild mannered, well behaved child preferably, but almost any other child would do. Or even better, to leave her in there and exit with no child at all. Why did ... more

    3 Stars Smacking does it work 03/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages -

    Disadvantages Disadvantages -

    When I was little, i was smacked when i was naughty, I do not think it worked at all it would make me resentful to my parents. And instead of loving my parents i would be scared of them, when i was bad or if the teacher at school wanted to say something critical about me at Parents evening. This was only when i was eight, so when I was 13 I knew that if i was bad at school, i would get a slap, and that my parents would be capable of smacking, so out of fear i would behave. But, now i am much older and I think even though i have turned out well, that was not a good method. You can not tell ... more

    5 Stars Chose The Behaviour Choose The Consequences 26/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Each parent or set of parents is entitled to their own parenting style

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some use physical punishment

    Some fortunate parents are blessed with children who never seem to give them a minute’s bother. Some more unfortunate parents have kids who seem to be a trial from the day they are born, who drive their poor parents to distraction. For the majority of us, our kids drop somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. Every child has their own unique style and personality and no matter how many children one set of parents have, each child will have their own traits. This is why it is so difficult to provide hard and fast rules to bringing up children. Each and every child is different, so ... more

    3 Stars It's as simple as (A), (B),(C)... 10/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Discipline,we hope, if handled correctly will teach our children right from wrong.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages There is no one discipline method that suits all.

    ...(A)bsolutely, (B)loody, (C)onfusing!!!!! This issue is a minefield these days and being a parent of two children myself, I can really sympathise with any other parents out there who find implementing discipline these days a real nightmare. I have a seven year old son and a five year old daughter who are like chalk and cheese. She is sunshine personified and he is a very serious and sullen little boy most of the time, prone to crying, sulking and backchatting and outbursts of rage. He is competitive and can be mean when he doesn't get his own way yet there is also a smashing, kind hearted ... more
