Intro, Begintalking about myself and my story about being out-casted for punishing my daughter by slightly spanking her for doing things she knows are wrong.
My Story and why the audience should listen to me.
The Big Idea, People don’t agree with spanking children as a punishment and will even tell you that your doing it the wrong way.
What’s in it for my audience? Learning the opinions of both side. Person pole with friends show that out of the 20 I asked, 13 of them agree with spanking and the remaining 7 don’t.
All 7 of the friends I spoke with noted that they believe spanking is another form of child abuse.
This is my family whom I would never abuse.
Fact
The 13 friends of mine who agree with spanking for punishment all agree that a “time out” should always come first. If the child does wrong again then a slight spanking is okay. Of course a spanking should not be used on children who do not understand meaning children 2 and under or children with learning disabilities.
While deadly force is never allowed I tend to use this model only for the bottom two tiers. While a child is not a criminal you must have a structure in place they can understand and one that can hold you accountable.
There is a fine line between spanking and Child abuse.
The fine line boarders on reason and severity.
Before traditional punishment I prefer kindness.
Re-instate who I am and that I would never abuse my children.
