-To Spank or Not to Spank-
Spanking is a very contivercial subject. Many parents are unsure of what to do when there little one is misbehaving. Spanking can be seen as both good and bad, and sometimes is both. As the age differs its either necessary or unnecessary. 0-8 months is unnecessary, what does that young baby know about reactions, that’s the stage where comforting is the best, they don’t intestinally do good or bad. 8-18 months is when a child knows behaviourism (reward and punishment) if the enfant is pulling hair a little slap on the hand and a firm NO is effective, but to wind up and swing at the enfant is harmful, they may become less comforted by you. 18months- 3years is the safety spank ages. If a child who now has learnt to walk is either going to are there selves (running out on the street) or others (hitting , etc) a spank on the bum is appropriate. This age the child tests out the boundaries and responds well to spanking on the bum. Hitting on any other body part at this age is not appropriate. The child may become afraid and nervous or anxious. 3-4 is the discipline spanking ages, while telling a child to not to do something and they follow though anywise ( ex- hitting a sibling, swearing, ect) deserves a spank on the bum and the bum only, this is crucial that you tell the child why they are getting a spank, this has to be done carefully because the child may now become fearful of the person spanking. If done right the child will respect the boundaries set and wont repeat. 4-6 is the last years of spanking, it again should only be on the bum but reasoning could also help school aged kids., since now there in school and spanking is not an option for the teachers to turn to as punishment, reasoning with your kids is necessary.

As a child it only took 3 spankings (not including slaps on the hands) to make me whom I am today. I didn’t get spanked every day. Getting spanked everyday the child may not take the spanking seriously. And at a certain age spanking needs to stop because it’s a minor consequence for older children ( its ok to sneak out because when I get back I only get a spank). Also spanking with a object (wooden spoon, belt , etc) in NOT ok. Also spanking on other body parts besides the bum and hands is NOT ok.
The statistics are very surprising:
- 68 percent of American parents think spanking is not only good but essential to child rearing;
- 90 percent of parents spank their toddlers at least three times a week; two-thirds spank them once a day;
- One in four parents begin to spank when their child is 6 months old, 50 percent when their child is 12 months old;
- 52 percent of 13- and 14-year-olds get spanked; 20 percent of high school seniors do.
The US department of Health & Human services reports 142,000 children are seriously injured from Corporal punishment every year in this country, 18,000 of them are permanently disabled. Between 1-2,000 children die each year in this country alone from Corporal punishment. Nearly 70% of child abuse cases in CPS agencies result from corporal punishment. The defense of "discipline" is raised in 41% of homicide prosecutions when parents "accidentally" kill their children. 99% of people in jail were corporally punished.
63% of the mothers had spanked their child at least once during the previous week. Among those that spanked, they hit their children a little over 3 times per week, on average.
In 1999, the Canadian Medical Association Journal conducted a general population survey of 9953 residents of Ontario aged 15 years and older. The majority of respondents indicated that they had been slapped or spanked, or both, by an adult during childhood "sometimes" (33.4%) or "rarely" (40.9%); 5.5% reported that this occurred "often." The remainder (20.2%) reported "never" experiencing these behaviours. Significantly more female than male respondents reported "never" being slapped or spanked by an adult while growing up (23.9% v. 16.4%).http://www.essortment.com/family/argumentspankin_scgu.htm
