Child-beaters, are you aware that there are highly successful ways of parenting?

without resorting to physical violence? I have two kids whom I have never hit. One 8-yr-old who reads on a high school level and a 7 year old who, through childhood illness was supposed to have been retarded, but who scores in the normal range. They are very well-adjusted and well-behaved. It's a lot of work, and I guess most parents don't want to put in the effort.Child-beaters, are you aware that there are highly successful ways of parenting?
This is a statement, not a question.





I commend you for your apparent ability to corral your children using alternative methods of discipline. Good for you, seriously. You are a lucky parent.





Not all kids are the same.





Not all parents who use the ';spanking'; method to discipline their kids are what you call ';Child Beaters.'; That is a stereotypical label and frankly it makes you seem like a radical in your opinion.





Spanking was not an effective method for me, but it worked with some of my relatives and friends. With one friend it was not done out of love, but rather out of bullying and anger, which I would call ';beating'; and abuse. However, my other experiecnes and observations showed discipline in love and thoughtful explanation. In those cases it was very benificial and it worked beautifully without causing fear.





You should feel blessed that you have children who are not acutely headstrong and who respond to your chosen methods of parenting, however, be cautious about judging others. If a parent is not causing physical harm or disciplining their kids while angry....it's likely alright...and furthermore it's their choice.Child-beaters, are you aware that there are highly successful ways of parenting?
there is a lot of parents that dont beat there kids ,I am one that dont I am very involved in every aspect of my childs life,so there for i agree with you
If you r so concerned with the parent's that use violence to discipline. Why then do you do nothing more than tout your own horn. Would it not be prudent to have provided some resources in your explanation. Maybe a link or 2 to some parenting sites.





Any way great job wit the youngings.
If they were aware or even cared they would nver resort to child abuse in the first place.





Do you really expect a child abuser to read this and do anything about it?
