Seal7:

That was the good old days. Now parents aff spoil. Such disciplinary actions are now called "child abuse".

Mimzyy:


Flogging a child isn't a guarantee that the child will not go back to doing the same thing he was flogged for.

No "method" guarantees anything. All the points You mentioned above doesnt guarantee anything either.
But in terms of efficiency/effectiveness, flogging still does a better job...since 1960.

Not true, I disagree. Flogging only makes em more stubborn(from experience) . When you flog a child, you only harden their heart and they tend to repeat the same thing since it's end result will be spanking anyway.

Seal7:
Your opinion.

Wingback:


Only if the flogger can't flog, I was always amused anytime my dad or mum used the belt on me but my military uncle...boy or boy, that man is the devil's right hand.


If you flog properly, they won't repeat although I won't flog my kids, I find taking privileges away much more effective.

at bolded. My Dad was also in the military. Tho I wont flog my kids(hopefully), I still think flogging is the most efficient way anybody can discipline a kid.

Mimzyy:


Have you considered the fact that flogging them too hard might leave indelible marks on their body? The fact that we were brought up that way does not mean it is the most effective method of correcting a child.

At the emboldened, you couldn't have said it better.

that's no more flogging but child abuse.

Mimzyy:


Yeah, things have changed, I agree.

Flog 'em leme see you na

Are You stylishly saying Yes to my marriage proposal?


Lord is this a sign?

SalomonKane:
What's your definition of child abuse?

Child abuse is when a parent or caregiver, whether through action or failing to act, causes (permanent) injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child.

SalomonKane:
Things haven't changed at all. Flogging still is among the best way one can use in handling kids.

God help all the parents out there and we the aspirants. Kids of today are too strong-willed for everybody's good biko. My friend's kids are a typical example. The girl is so level headed. She listens, shes cool, she fears the cane(though no one beats her)...she's a sweet girl. The boy on the other hand...ohlordinheaven! Whew, he's all of troublesome merged in one! He could climb for Africa, noisy, silly...I'm already exasperated thinking about him! The only thing that works briefly on him is taking privileges away. Even that has 30mins expiration! It is well, if only we could all stick to having the girl child...

Mimzyy:


Why? Whatever in the world happened to dialogue? Or rewarding good behaviour and depriving them of things they cherish owing to bad behaviour?

SalomonKane:
Dialogue? With a kid? Come on now. I'm telling you. Most of these kids can't be reasoned with, [s]especially those from dis-functional homes[/s] and those who are spoilt by their parents.

The carrot and stick method works very well. I work with kids. When try to deprive a kid of something he or she likes, they usually look for a way to thwart you.

These kids think they're smarter than you, you know.

SalomonKane:
Seal7: Seen and noted. You know from you definition. I was abused by my teachers when I was in secondary school.

I still have the scars they gave me. Oh how I hated them then, but now, I love them and I thank them for making me who I am, for without their careful ministration of discipline in me, lord knows what I would have turned out to be.

Know this, we're not whites, the black man has his own unique way of handling his children.

Then oga Solo must have been a very stubborn pikin. I was also "abused" when I was in primary school. Tho the teacher was later dealt with, I still wont support flogging a child to the extent of causing serious injuries, black or white.

SalomonKane:
That boy needs a time out with me, seriously.
