Guilt beats discipline in motivating children


Much better.

Guilt.. Discipline?

Which is the one you beat the crap out of the kid?

money beats them all

I feel guilty that I read that.

The Catholic Church has had this figured out for sometime now.

You ever get cracked with a Hot Wheels track from the '70's?
That is motivation enough to know the next time your parents go to grab one it isn't to do a loop de loo with the Red Baron car.

My parents STILL play that card, and I am in my thirties.

Bribery works nice; a good ass-beating even better.

Name yer belt "guilt". Then ye've covered both bases.

guilt takes time, beatings only take a belt.

Guilt beats Discipline
Permissiveness beats Guilt
Discipline beats Permissiveness

now count to three and select your child rearing method and compare to the above chart to decide winner... in the case of a tie... try again

Damn those Hot Wheel tracks! And they were mine, too! Irony is another good form of discipline.

Encouraging a child to feel guilt can lead to him feeling abiding shame, which is a killer. The first rule of toys is, they break. Tormenting a child can not make him into a good man, only an inhibited one. If a child breaks something of yours, tell the child honestly that you don't like it when they do that, and that you are angry. Do not tell them they are bad, and have done a wicked thing.

What are you doing son??? Do you realize every time you do that GOD KILLS A KITTEN!?!?!?

Think of the kittens!!

anyone else used to quiver when their dad would touch their belt and say "It's time."?

That certainly tought me not to get caught again :)

That was sick

"This will hurt me more than it will hurt you."
Two birds, one stone.

Belt on the ass until they are old enough to understand guilt. Worked on me.

I am going to raise my children just like Ozzy does! I am going to wander around my house in a haze of oblivion and mumble a lot of curses.

Scenerio 1

Father: Eat your veggies
Son: No!
Father: I said eat your veggies
Son: NO! ( Throws plate on floor )
Father: That doesn't make me very happy.
Son (to self): I DONT CARE!!!
Father : It makes me upset that you did such a thing
Son : I WANNA COOKIE!!!!!!!

NO NO NO...

· Paper beats rock

· Rock beats scissors

· Scissors beat paper

Children will seek to get your attention by any means necessary. If you do not pay attention to them when they are good then they will be bad.

No shiat, Shiatlock.

I got the endless lectures....endless endless lectures. No guilt needed, just talk and talk until the kids ears bleed.

Father: No. You're done eating for tonight. Go to bed.

Scenerio 2

Father: Eat your veggies
Son: No!
Father: I said eat your veggies
Son: NO! ( Throws plate on floor )
Father(grabs belt): That was a bad thing you did. Now you have 2 choices. Either you eat the veggies I'm about to put on this new plate or (hits table with belt)
Son: I'll eat the veggies!!!

My dad was career military.
Now you want a punishment; you get him pissed and it was 20 mile hike with full gear while he is calling you a disgrace to the family name.

When I was out of line, my father would threaten to take me to "Hit City." Worked everytime.

My father used to do something to me much worse than whipping, Morticia. He used to sigh at me.

feh. My dad made a custom belt just for whuppin me!!

BBbbbbullsheet. Guilt only makes you feel guilty. Beat their butts if they are in danger, but guilt is a farked up emotion.

Scenerio 2, ten years later:

Son: "Give it up, biatch."

Date: "No, leave me alone."

Son: "Give it up or I'll beat the shiat out of you."

Date: "Help! Stop!"

Son: (beats her unconscious and rapes her)

a kid breaks something make him do housework for 1 cent an hour until he paid of the cost of a new whatever.. he wont do it again guarenteed

Beat them kids but good.

Does anyone other than me think it's wrong that they tell the kids that the toy is very special and then make it break on them? They themselves should feel guilty.

Not every kid who gets a spanking when they are young turns out to be a woman beater. I got the snot whupped out of me when I was bad when I was a kid and I have NEVER hurt a woman in my entire life

Never teach a child that dominating somebody through shame or violence or trickery is legitimate and functional.

Have you ever been spanked before Nanookanano?

Do you dominate other men through the threat of violence, Rass?

My parents reasoned with me. If I were going to someone's house and they had something especially breakable (or whatever) my parents didn't just say 'don't touch that' (because being a kid I obviously would), they would say 'that's very breakable, so you should leave it alone or it might get broken by accident'. It worked with me. Of course I wasn't the average kid. Some kids DO need a good smack. Or at least parents that instill discipline.

You must show the child that you are the one in charge though

"Go out in the yard, boy, and get yourself a switch from that tree."

NO

Why yes, by my psychotic Stepfather, may he rot in hell.

Funny, I got spanked all the time when I was a kid, but I never pulled anything like that.

There is a difference between a spanking and child abuse

Do either of you have children?

Im sorry if you got hurt when you are young, but children should learn the difference between right and wrong when they are young.
