... you've never actually dealt with kids, have you? Sure talking works sometimes, but there are plenty of kids who will just ignore you. You can 'discuss' things with them till you're blue in the face, but if they don't want to listen, they won't.

So... You hit them like a frustrated child?

Take away their favorite toy. Ground them. Deny them dessert. Come on, get creative.

And yes, I do work with kids.

and what if none of those things work? because they don't always work on all kids. you should know that much if you work with kids, different kids respond to different things..

They said "get creative", but clearly that's too much to ask for from you. If you've fucked up with your parenting to the point where beating your kids is the only option you feel you're left with? Then you've clearly screwed up as a parental figure. It's true that different kids respond to different things, but that doesn't negate the fact that you've done it wrong if you actually have to smack your kids for them to actually get it into their heads that they've done something wrong.

I'm sorry, but no. You sound like some first year psyche student who hasn't been around a real kid a day in your life. I laugh when people like you have the kids that are exceptions to all your neat little views of how the world works. I laugh hard.

and there are other ways to punish children who won't listen that don't involve hitting them.

put them in time out, ground them, take away a toy or a privilege, ignore them for a reasonable amount of time when they're trying to get your attention. none of these involve violence.

and as a child I would respond to none of those sometimes. Yeah, generally they worked, and a smack on the butt was always, always my parents last resort, never done in anger, and never done with anything but a hand on a part of my body that would do nothing but sting.

But sorry, I would rather have my ass smacked then have learned the hard way not to do some of the things my parents were yelling at me about because I did not have the cognitive ability to understand they weren't just being mean, they were protecting me.

I DID have the cognitive ability to understand if I went and say, played in the big drains that often flash flooded I'd get my butt smacked.

Plenty of people take it too far, and enough so I don't mind laws being made against it. But on a person to person basis it is not so black and white.

None of those worked on me. Spanking did. So what do you do when you've tried all of your little techniques and the kid is still doing bad and dangerous enough things to hurt themselves or others? Just throw up your hands and let it happen, because god forbid you stoop to their level? Or do you be an adult and make a hard decision that will keep them from worse hurt down the line?

I ran out into the street without looking once, got spanked for it, and never did it again. I'd say spanking is a much better option than being hit by a car. (And no, time-outs and those things didn't work on me either.)
