How to breed generation of brats

[Togas]

Letter from Joseph Khoo

I was from an all-boys school that used caning as one of the means of disciplining. I can assure you that boys who were caned tried their best to stay out of trouble after that.

 

Dr Benjamin Spock, the well-known child psychologist, warned the babyboomer generation of parents that they should not discipline their children because such actions could warp a kid's fragile ego and harm the generation to come.

 

However, before his death in 1998, Dr Spock made an amazing urnaround: He realised that he had been wrong.

 

He said: "We have reared a generation of brats. Parents aren't firm enough with their children for fear of losing their love or incurring their resentment."

 

While not advocating widespread canning as the main method of disciplining errant male and female students, I am convinced it is still an effective way to impose discipline.

 

We must enforce discipline while striving for a delicate balance: While we do not want to raise children in an atmosphere of paralysing fear, we also do not want to unintentionally breed a generation of brats.

My take --> Kids should be treated the way dogs are trained to behave. Spank when mistakes are made. Reason after the spanking.

 

Spanking should be tough and hard. No softies allowed. Of course you dont send them to horsepeter either.

 

They will learn what is right and what is wrong after that. This must be done before 3 yrs of age because they have no idea of right and wrong.

 

Tough love and lots of heartache when you spank.

yah agree, look at my daughters, i wont hesitate to wrack them if they make any mistake when they were just 2 yrs old n now (4 yrs old & 3 yrs old), whenever they make mistake, i dun even need to say anything. just stare at them and they will stop doing any funny things... my wife on the other hand pampered them a lot and now??? shout and shout like a mad women also no use...

yeah.........me too, all boys school,, canning is part of it to build moral & strong character! No pain no gain.... if my kids get out-of-line.... I use the cane too. even for my little 20 months old twin babies... (but using the newspaper with moderate force hor as still babies... got to be very careful.. no brats around in the house!

[Silhoutte]

I agree.

 

When kids behave badly, they must be disciplined properly in order to instill the correct values in them.

No pain no gain.. they must feel the pain..

Be glad that you are not in some countries like NZ... they spanking is outlawed. I heard you will risk your child being taken away by the social help there...
