Civilization Begins at Home

I APPROVE OF FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT criminalizes corporal punishment because it is the best way to deter parents who otherwise might feel they simply “lost perspective” while disciplining their children. It is a big mistake to use any kind of violence on children to obtain obedience. I have to admit I’ve sometimes spanked my child, but immediately afterward I’ve realized doing so was just a way to vent my fury when I could not manage the situation. I think such measures are useless for discipline and only create guilt for parents. I reckon we can see how civilized a country is by how its children are civilized. Educating our children with words and explanations, good examples and kindness is the best demonstration of civilization.

Spanking Is Not the “Last Resort”

Let it be clearly understood that spanking is not the “least desired” of the various methods of punishment, but the BEST method, one which is God-given. Spanking should NEVER be considered a “last resort” when all has failed. It seems people who are sick and afflicted will try every other means known to man before they will FINALLY in absolute DESPERATION “give God a try”! So it seems to be with child rearing.

Parents will try every method which has been devised by the «no discipline» school of theorists, shunning as being something terribly distasteful the application of physical punishment.

But spanking should NEVER be done in anger! It should ALWAYS be done in love. The child psychologists have been unable to reconcile themselves to the conception that nay parent is capable of punishing his child in love!

Spanking is NOT an extreme as a “last resort” but is the best method of positive teaching, the God-given, Divinely inspired method, the way that really works!
