This is not discipline.
A kid stuffing around in school does not equate to that whole saying “fuck me” thing he does. Discipline equals a lesson. There is no logic in the guys argument. So what the fuck is he teaching that kid?
The whole multiple punishment thing? Shave head/eyebrows. What does demeaning the kid achieve? Insult to injury.
Has anyone else noticed that the only thing the kid says is “Yes sir”? If you are trying to modify a childs behavior don’t you think the kid should be somewhat intellectually engaged.
Now how many time do you have to hit a kid with a belt? Give him five strokes and leave it at that. Why keep beating him? And then tell him to shut up. You just hit a little kid with a belt a couple of dozen times of course he’ll cry.
I’m just listing shit that strikes me as wrong here. I am not a parent and am basically theorising. And I think if I ever do become one I’ll be a god aweful bastard like this guy because thats how I lose my temper.
All the beatings like this never got me to behave, they just made me more bloody minded. Point being this video is categorically wrong. This sort of thing perpetuates itself.
My 2 cents. Not a parent, hopefully never will be.[/quote]
Good post. I am a parent, I never felt compelled to beat the living fuck of my kids. I am not against corporal punishment, but that was way over board. There is no way that was staged, that shrill of terror and agony was the real thing.
If you have to do that to the 7 year old, he ain’t the problem, you are. 7 year olds are easy to control, even bad ones.
When I do use corporal punishment, it’s quick and spontaneous and it’s a ‘cease and desist’ immediately message. Also, I believe in make a lot of noise rather than inflicting pain.
I have gotten a few like that in my life and I am not grateful or better for it. it made me a better liar. I was motivated to avoid the punishment, but not avoid the behavior that led to it.
That ‘spare the rod, spoil the child’ horse shit is just that, horse shit. BTW that phrase ← is NOT in the bible contrary to popular belief. No where in the bible does it say ‘beat the living shit out of your kids’.
