ELGuapo your parents did well. I can't say spanking is wrong though cause I have spanked my boys. To each their own.

Yeah right though Disciplines like slaps weren't exempted

dayokanu:

OP,

You should thank me cos me I chopped overdose, I chop my own portion and yours too for cane

Rotflmao! Kpele o broda maybe in our next world we switch lanes

Sagamite:

There is no best technique.

[b]Have all your tools at hand and decide which is best at which time to fix the problem.

Understand your child's personality and behavioural reponses to each tool.

There might be a child you never have to beat even once, there might be a child you will need to flog mercilessly.[/b]Never follow the moronic funky liberal philosophy of smacking is "child abuse". If you are unlucky to have a child that needs smacking and you have the philosophy, don't be surprised when the child starts smacking your face.

It is responsible to let your child have a level of fear of you. Don't buy the rubbish the liberals will tell you. The more wayward and uncompromising the child, the higher the level of fear needs to be.

Knight1:

I hope never to cane any off my offspring or any human being at all.
i realise that this is not going to be easy but i believe you have to train your children to be corrected without necessarily flogging them; from there childhood, you can begin to imbibe the process of convincing them to do right by providing superior reasons for whatever action you take and why they should follow it.
i know a family of four children who were never caned yet respects their parents though the dad is late now. so discipline and 'rod' do not have to come hand in hand

^^^ Good points. I have this female friend of mine that detests smacking. Her son is as rough and stubborn like no man business. When we visit friends , other kids will be quiet but this one? No way. anywayz I went shopping yesterday with this woman and her son , this boy was running around the plaza, like his mum was running around trying to catch him, when she finally did , she held his hands. Do you know that this little boy tried to break loose from his mother's grip and when he couldn't, he turned to his mother and said. . . . .''let go off my hand mum, I don't like it when you hold my hands, I don't like it.Let go''. . . . And the silly mother let go of his hands immediately and for my mind I was like WTF? Are you kidding me? You must be kidding me?. My own child, tell me that nansense? Na angel go save that pikin that day.

debrief08:

My sister sent her 8 year old to come on holiday from US, they don't beat the boy, first day this boy played downstairs and scattered my sitting room, came home and went upstairs didn't see d mess till morning. Woke him up to put his toys back, d boy told me "I don't wanna put them back" I asked him who will put them back? He said "you or the maid". . . . . . .

debrief08:

. . . . . I told him I was der when dem born you and the maid is 10 years your senior so you no fit send us. The boy told me to leave him alone, I told him to clean up before I take ma bath. Went downstairs still saw d mess, went out cut cain, after 1 stroke d boy ran for dear life and cleaned up. The boy has been here for a week, he has learnt to wash his own plates, say pls, thank you, no more insults, obeys instructions what he has refused to do for 8years of his life, just 1 stroke of cane. Everyone to his own abeg, ma mama used d cane, I will use it when necessary abeg. My sister can't believe how polite her son is over d phone, I told her nothing is wrong with the boy, wats wrong is d parents who allow der children to craze in the name of liberalism. I no do. 8yr pickin wey dem birn for ma front dey tell me "Gerrout"who born am?

jennykadry:

Lol @ El G.  With the kind of mother I have, I think it's Gene related, I inherited it from her.

I love my kids to death but I am not ready to spoil anybody, my chubby daughter came to me one day asking me to apply make up on her face b'cos her friend's mum does the same on her daughter's. I gave her the look and she walked away immediately. After a few hours I went into her room ,sat her down and told her that I don't care what her friend's mum does with daughter but all I know is that she's not allowed to use makeup until she's 18 lol. She asked why? I told her she was So beautiful that even those wearing makeups envied her beauty. See the babe blushing.

@debrief

WTH? that pikin go diee for my hand.
