G-spotter Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 rob, give a few examples where you would consider the administration of corporal punishment on a child of let's say 2. Suppose you were a statue, and a bunch of damn babies attacked you... Quote

rob Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 rob, give a few examples where you would consider the administration of corporal punishment on a child of let's say 2. I don't practice corporal punishment. But, I do have rules and consequences, and if they break the rules, there are often varying punitive consequences. Does all punishment have to be corporal? Quote
rob Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 When do 4 year olds get to learn about these sorts of things? Right from the get-go brother. Who ever said my kids dont have rules or boundaries? You did, when you said you don't "impose your will on them." How can you have rules and boundaries without imposing will? Quote

He said it in another protracted thread in the past. Basically, if K's kids do something wrong he just distracts them. "Hey you punched your sister... look at these gummi bears". Yeah, that teaches a lesson. Quote
rob Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 My theory is that kev is a good parent, but says stupid shit online. Quote
kevbone Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Talking parenting online is just about as relevant as talking vaccines or 9/11 or obama or climbing Quote
Kimmo Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 rob, give a few examples where you would consider the administration of corporal punishment on a child of let's say 2. I don't practice corporal punishment. i'm glad to hear that. i thought from your tone in an earlier post this wasn't the case. and i was told online posting was the best way for avoiding misunderstandings. sheesh.

If you give the kids the attention they need in the first place, then he will have never punched his sister in the first place and there is no need for a "lesson". I know these theories are way beyond two simpleton parents like yourselves but one can dream. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 If you give the kids the attention they need in the first place, so, you monitor them 24/7? Never leave them to play alone? Quote

I know these theories are way beyond two simpleton parents like yourselves but one can dream. are you saying the ONLY reason kids EVER fight is cause their parents aren't giving them enough attention? They will not ever make poor choices as long as you are giving them enough attention? Kids fight because they're tiny little humans, and they're learning to interact with each other. They can often make poor choices and need to learn from that. Just wait until your kids get old enough to start try8ing to deceive you. Or, maybe they'll never do that as long as they get enough attention? I guess that it's always the parent's fault when a kid screws up? you're a funny guy, kev. Quote

All kids have different temperments. Not all kids try to deceive their parents. The best parenting decision we made (IMO) was to get rid of our TV. My kids get zero screen time. and yes...I am a funny guy. Quote
rob Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Why are you imposing your anti-TV will on them? Quote

Hugh Conway Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 You took the opportunity to teach your son the proper use of the pimp hand? Quote
ivan Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 i only beat my children when i'm asleep...probably why they've learned to stop jumping on me when i'm snoring on the couch Quote
ivan Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 clearly vaccines are evil - witness the earth on the verge of 7 billion meat-puppets! why, if there were no vaccines...there'd....there'd.... Quote
Peter_Puget Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Bryan Caplan stated the real truth quite cogently here: Yesterday my baby acquired a valuable life skill: He learned how to watch television. I'm thrilled for at least three reasons: 1. Television is fun. I don't want my son to miss out on one of life's great pleasures. 2. Television is a cheap electronic baby-sitter that allows parents of young kids to get a much-needed break. 3. When my son is older, the threat to deprive him of television will become one of our most convenient and effective tools of discipline. The naughty corner's usually enough, but when bad behavior persists, it's time for a night without t.v. Won't t.v. stunt my baby's cognitive development? Hardly. Twin and adoption studies find zero long-run effect on IQ of all family environment combined. Television's isn't just a drop in the bucket; it's a drop in a bucket that doesn't hold water. Over emphasizing your impact as a parent reveals an oversized ego as does the belief that "your kid" is special enough to free ride on the vaccinations of other. Quote
rob Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah, TV isn't soley responsible for messing kids up. Give our public schools a little credit! Quote
