wikipedia has this to say about Focus on the Family:

Focus on the Family (FOTF or FotF) is an American Christian conservative organization founded in 1977 in Southern California by psychologist James Dobson, based in Colorado Springs, Colorado.[3] It is active in promoting socially conservative views on public policy. Focus on the Family is one of a number of evangelical parachurch organizations that rose to prominence in the 1980s. As of the 2017 tax filing year, Focus on the Family declared itself to be a church.[4]


try again please.


How are you gonna call me out for faulty info then reference Wikipedia

At least that wikipedia article cites actual sources.

More than there is saying it has no postive outcomes lol
such as?

these child beaters have to do a better job than "well I'm pretty sure it works"


I've noticed that you've used "spanking" and "beating" interchangeably

that's because they aren't actually distinct behaviours.

So when you give your girlfriend a spanking, i guess you are at that point a woman beater

Gotcha

spanking a consenting adult for kink purposes is very different from what we're talking about

You stated that beating and spanking are the same thing. Are they or are they not??

I don't believe that spanking should be the first result in disciplining a child.

That being said, plenty of parents who choose not to spank their children, generally don't discipline them in effective ways either, which can cause more damage to a child's development.

I have a foster daughter and I would never lay a hand on her but she is a mouthy teen who lived her whole life in and out of the foster care system. I have to find creative ways to discipline her that are not physical while not allowing her to get her way through acting out.

The role of a parent is tough and there are more ways do do it wrong than correctly.

Telling you not to be intentionally obtuse is not being overly dramatic.

There isn't that clear a difference. Both are used to punish unwanted behavior. Both are achieved by inflicting unwanted physical pain. Both can be justified by the parent as being "for their benefit." The biggest difference is that one is socially acceptable.

I personally think it's a sign of ignorance and overall being uneducated on the subject. Enough studies have shown that even spanking causes all sorts of long term damage.

I've known enough people that ended up fucked in the head because they had very strict parents who would turn to violence.

Like another user said, it doesn't matter if you personally turned out fine. There's enough evidence to prove it's bullshit and damaging. I've dealt with lots of kids and there are ways around violence and even manipulation. I know some are harder to get to, but it's not impossible.

Like shit, my dog and cats piss the fuck out of me sometimes and I never think about hitting them and they're fucking animals. Imagine hitting your own fucking kids. Fucking disgusting.

But it's a nonsense question asked by someone with no experience of raising a child. A good parent with a healthy relationship with their child is going to know the best ways for controlling their behaviour rather than relying on whatever defcon escalation system you seem to be referring to.

Let's turn the question around. What are you going to do when the child doesn't respond to spanking? Hit them harder?

I say this as someone who never resorts to violence.

I do not believe spanking to be harmful of done properly.

I remember one time my dog (who is very friendly) snapped at my brother because he was trying to grab something she was interested in. I immediatly grabbed her and bopped her in the nose. Just once. She never did it again. So, it nose bop must have worked

So is an sort of discipline. Theu key is simply to follow through and be consistent. Kids and people in general respond to that.

Spanking is simply a punishment. A punishment is meant to deter bad behavior. Unless you can show me studies that show that kids look back foundly on the times they spend grounded, i'd say that no punishment in and of itself shows any positive benefit beyond stopping bad behavior.

For example. Can you show me the positive benefits of locking criminals up for years?? Does it always work?? No. Can it be harmful? Yea. Do we still do it?? Yea. So does that mean its barbaric and any government that does it shouldnt have citizens?? Also no.

Spankiing can be effective. But theres a lot of factors here.

Does this child home hop? What attempts are used before spanking? Are you using an item or your hand? What words are accompanied with the spanking? What do you do after? How hard are you even spanking? What event qualifies a spanking?

Because lets be real. In the real world, bad behavior doesnt end with you in time out necessarily. Physical repercussions are a real thing.

To say spanking is always bad, or worse, equate it to beating is being intellectually dishonest.

Dont hide behind your studies. Give an actual reason yall came up with on your own. Studies, to my knowledge, dont cover enough factors.

1. "spanking" causes the same outcomes as "beating", which suggests that they are not actually distinct behaviours
2. spanking does not actually prevent bad behaviour in the long term (in fact it does the opposite), so it is ineffective as a disciplinary tool
