Go and ask one slowpoke, an Idiot drug junkie..A bastard whose urchins are as stupid as a GOAT. His name is Tinubu a criminal whom some F00LS are sheepishly supporting. They will shocked after d court finishes with him. I can't wait to see them jump into d lagoon.

I don't think this relates to the topic at hand

Very very good
It teaches the child there is a consequence for bad behaviour
It becomes horrible when it veers into abuse if not it helps in raising a child properly

The result is the answer!

Compare the adult white (westerner) and the adult black!

Choose whom you prefer to be!

That will decide for you how to train your child!

Our parents spanked us and I can assure you we love them to the heavens for that as we all turned out well. The ill trained kids, teenagers and adults we have littered everywhere today is as a result of their parents failing to do the needful. We decided to follow the ways of the western world and we are turning into a disaster just like them when it comes to morals.

Me too...It shaped me and I am grateful to my parent that I wasn't indulged..Every child has tendencies to be naughty, only strict control can get a child in line

Dem no spank me , na heavy beatings I chop .

So spanking your 6-year old child is ABUSE?

U can't be serious.

The spanking serves as a deterrent from making the child make similar mistakes.

You said physical methods would be used sparingly?

What if the child commits offences "unsparingly"?

Meanwhile u should have no fears of the child standing against you physically, cos you wd use the rod on him with love and let him/her understand it's for his own good while you are at it.
Then reward/applaud the same child when he/she does great.

Where did I even remotely insinuate spanking your 6-year old child is ABUSE? Do you know the meaning of abuse?

Any form of punishment also acts as deterent so there is no need to focus on spanking.

I was speaking about my particular experience and I did say my children do not 'commit offences "unsparingly"' so I have no reason to switch to beating them.

I have no fears of retaliation because I don't abuse my children whether physically or otherwise.

Sey You die from the spanking wey you collect when you small abii

you can as well ask if that verse you quoted is making sense.

As for me dem over spank me and e no good cos I no come fear cane again. I will do the deed and be like after all dem go flog tire.
Excessive spanking no good sha

I'm for serious beating o. I ate nonsense and concobility

I Grew up in a military barrack. If you don't know what that means, I'll tell ya.
The barracks back then was a place where you find all kinds of character with plenty touches of aljanu and ogbanje. Children weren't spanked back in my days. Children were beaten like thieves. The offenses commited were usually greater than our ages so it always came down to either sparing the rod and raising a nuisance of a child or spoiling the rod and saving your child. Boys did things bruh.
My Mom never saved that rod. She used it when necessary until she never had to use it again. All she had to do was serve that look. Today we appreciate how they brought us up. We for Don loose one or two nuts.
So yeah, spank that child when necessary and dont listen to dick heads who'd tell you you're abusing your child.

As long as you're under my authority in the home, just misbehave first, you go collect.

arantess:


This one works too

You mean students thrive better with fear

Nigerians now applying the bible more than Oyibo wey bring the religion come. Oyibo wey no spank their pikin no get sense abi?
The same bible said though shall not steal or fornicate but even yahoo boiz and hookupers are here quoting bible and testifying how the got abused by parents and teachers and came out well.
When a case of abuse comes up on front page maybe from a teacher or a parent same fools will come out here and condemn the person. What the yardstick to judge when the spanking is excess.
Naija is filled up with hippocritical idiots I swear.
Even cheating wives will come out here to type that they came out well.
Fools!

It really shaped me too and church things , that time it's a must for you to attend all church programs .

Does a 7 years old child still childish to that extent for not recognising that those things cannot be washed.

It is very good o even as young as sucking baby bite the mother's nipples while sucking you should give the baby a spank don't say she's only a baby that's way the discipline starts!

EmekaStanley:
I have seen numerous debates about whether disciplining a child by spanking him or her is right.

Some parents are for it, while some are against it. Only parents can finally decide whether to spank their kids or not.

But it must be known that whichever way you choose to train your child will definitely reflect on how your child treats you tomorrow.

The honor you get from you child as a parent will be as a result of how best you were able to inculcate good precepts and concepts in that child.

Here is what the Bible says about spanking a child;

" Children just naturally do silly, careless things, but a good spanking will teach them how to behave." Proverbs 22: 15 GNT

Another translation puts it this way;

"A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness, but physical discipline will drive it far away". Proverbs 22:15 NLT

Yet another interesting translation puts it;

"Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline [correction administered with godly wisdom and lovingkindness] will remove it far from him". Proverbs 22:15 AMP

It is important that you start disciplining your child when he or she is still little.

Don't copy deluded cultures that enthrone children who bully their parents, all in the name of legal protection or human rights.

The rot in the society is directly linked to collapse in family values.

However you choose to train your kids lies in your hands but if you want the truth, this is it; spanking kids is a good way to make them behave.

ES

Spare the rod, and you will spoil the child.
Note though, that excessive spanking without bringing the said child to the reason for such act, will only make such parent to lead such child into the streets. Hereby resulting in, probably. Hooliganism.

SHIVA001:
If You really want Your Child to blossom, You need to Transform yourself into A joyful, loving and peaceful being. Children don't listen to you. They Watch your Actions.

Not only Children Needs Spanking, Adults Definitely needs Some spanking. Also.

Nice one

In Africa here, spare the rod and spoil the child(and some adult too)

shantti:
I believe in moderate spanking.

Which one is moderate spanking again
Spanking is spanking

I'm a product of spanking. My mother is a spankstar. My father is super-spankmaster. If not for the spankisms I would have been a wasted child. Even till today I respect my mom's grave.

She will spank me and say remember u are a member of Assemblies of God church. Remember you are a Christian. Christ won't have behaved like u did.
She spanks u and spank whoever comes to ur rescue.

Very good

If you dont have anything reasonable to say, why dont you just keep quiet. An adult who's not well brought up will be dealt with by the society at adulthood. There are many adults who are in debt because they dont know how o manage money, there are adults in jail for stealing, manslaughter, fraud etc.

Here, we are talking about how to raise children so that they dont become irresponsible like some of the adults mentioned above.

If you want a good answer to your questions look at the American Society then compare

They are more truthful and organized than we are.

SHIVA001:

Children will never listen to you. That is the truth, because they want to explore life in their own way. But they watch you and copy you.

What are you even saying, as if we were not children before. My dad beat out every spirit of disobedience and immorality out of my life, I DID NOT DIE. It didnt stop me from exploring life, it didnt stop him from correcting me where I needed to be corrected.

Caning is very important, cux some no dey fear spank .. Buy those masquerade çane full hux.. They will be afraid to misbehave.. Na why olden days kids them,dey disciplined pass these indomine kids now.. I wonder how d next generation go be walai

No be dem dey collect bribe everywhere so? We keep thinking we are better yet we are so corrupt a people. Wasn't your politicians, government officials properly disciplined as you claim? How many offices can you get legal document without greasing palms with bribe? In essence, spanking does nothing if we don't have a value system.
