Question

Have you or someone you know had a child who would get a good hard beating for having fits / meltdowns?

Answer 1

It seems SO counter-productive.  We all have fits/meltdowns and I know I've seen some really good ones from adults!!  Give the kid a break and maybe teach them (by example) how best to deal with a frustrating situation.  Just remember...they learn by watching the adults how best to deal w/life's little/big setbacks!!

Answer 2

yes i do some children have fits because they can't get what they want this is especially embarrassing in malls and stores when the child wants to pull clothing and other merchandise off the racks now good and hard i don't know about that but i have given a few whuppins in the store to stop the fits and i've gotten them my mother whipped me when i was 16 in the store because i couldn't get the shoes i wanted for prom i'll tell you this much and trust me i know from experience after that whuppin you straighten up and act like you got some sense

Answer 3

Nope.  Just a pop on the bottom is all I'm aware of.

"Good hard beatings" is an oxymoron!

Answer 4

If you know someone, its a good time to call child protective services

Answer 5

This question made me think about all of my friends and their children. So thanks. To answer your question. I'm not sure what you mean by 'good hard beating' that's too general for me. Some people think that spanking is considered beating, but to others you would have to beat a child enough to put them in a hospital before they considered it a 'beating' If you could maybe specify your definition of "a good hard beating"
