Spanking Works
When watching a movie, a familiar catchphrase is “We don’t need words, we need action!” The same applies for disciplining a child. Spanking most effectively disciplines a child for doing something wrong and prevents him or her from repeating the action.
Young children can comprehend actions better than they can words. How else would different races that don’t use a common language communicate with each other? When training a dog to sit, the word “sit” is usually accompanied by a pat on the rear so the dog can understand the command better. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not comparing your child to a dog. People also learn new languages this way. In Spanish class, I could easily learn verbs when we participated in acting out each one and repeating it. Slightly harsher methods are sometimes necessary when enforcing rules and manners. Spanking usually helps trigger children’s memories better than repeatedly telling them “no.” I was spanked as a kid, usually by my father and occasionally (reluctantly) by my mother. I was caught jumping on the bed after being told not to and was spanked by my dad. I learned not to jump on the bed extremely quickly because of that spanking. However, spanking wasn’t used to enforce a very important rule: look both ways before you cross the street. One day, roudy and carefree, I “forgot” to check the street. Luckily, there were no cars nearby. My mom very, very sternly told me I had better look both ways next time unless I wanted to get run over. Well, the next time I crossed the street, I “forgot” again and was nearly hit. We’re not always this lucky and not enforcing morals and standards can result in smart-aleck adolescents who “forget” to follow the rules.
