You good.

And I will say that, as I got older, I definitely started lying to avoid getting punished, knowing full well that the lie would absolutely be exposed later and result in an even bigger blowup. I was just scared and wanted to push off the inevitable. I kept doing the same things regardless. That cycle didn't end until my literal 20s.

I'm sorry that you had that experience. How did you manage to break that cycle? Because that's no easy feat.

I admit part of the motivation of this topic was riffing on "I got hit as a child and turned out fine", but with the twist of there legitimately being a connection in my case.

Im sorry, I shouldnt have overlooked this. I hope Im not derailing things; I can shut up if you want, haha.

What happens when they dont listen?

When they realize the most youre gonna do is put then in timeout or take something away? Or when they realize youre too scared to do something in public?

What do you do then?

Punishments only train children in what not to do. Strict parents only raise better liars; a child who is driven by punishments will only behave so long as they are in situations where they are likely to be caught. A well-behaved child needs training in what the desired behaviors are, and incentives to demonstrate those behaviors.

The key to promoting desired behaviors in children is to give them something to work toward, rather than something to run from. Instead of playing whack-a-mole with misbehaviors, a successful behavioral intervention ascertains the function of the undesired behavior, and incentivizes the child to demonstrate a functionally equivalent replacement behavior. Consequences have their place, but they alone will not drive a child to behave properly, especially if the consequences are corporal punishment, as research has repeatedly shown corporal punishment to be associated with poorer socioemotional and behavioral outcomes.

Guys, I dont believe this gentleman is the same as the famous singer.

Anyway, I dont believe anyone should be invoking God for any reason. It seems like a bad basis for an argument.

This. If an argument has any merit, you shouldnt need to fall back on Cuz my god said so!

I listened to them a fair bit back in high school, but their songs all kinda blended together, so I lost interest.

I grew up not wearing a seatbelt and I turned out fine! No children of mine are gonna wear seatbelts!

White people trying to shame black people for spanking their kids with a belt is an example of white supremacy.

Corporal punishment is associated with worse outcomes even when controlling for race.

The field of psychology has collectively left corporal punishment in the past for good reason. The most charitable thing I could possibly say about corporal punishment is that it is a suboptimal method of modifying behavior. Don't fucking do it.

I'm the worst at singing

The best? I dunno . I just added the best to this topic so it wasn't such a downer LOL

Well now you GOTTA come up with something. Self affirmation, now!

I'm probably the worst at problem solving. I've been working on kicking my habit of overdependence, but I still have a lot of catching up to do after years of being too hasty to ask others for help when I should've been figuring things out for myself.

Out of everyone I know, I may be the best at providing a calming presence. Whether it's at work or at home, people keep telling me that I'm really good at smoothing things out with others.

What about you, TC?
