 My son is 4 yrs old and is very naughty never listen a word for what we have to say .Only if I have a stick he listen.I had given him once tightly afterwhich he knows that hitting is painful and listen though I don't use it now but only show him the stick to make him to do his work. My mil comes and tell that in their family nobody has brought him like that and I am bringing him up this way.however patiencely I go he get angry and another thing is that he has nobody to play and he is alone.I am planning to open a play home myself so that my son get company and will be able to mingle with other kids .Sometimes I think stick should be used to discipline the child when he is way out of control.

 I think sparing the rod is bad idea. I was brought up if i did something wrong/bad i was spanked. Times my parents didn't spank me made me feel like i got away with something. Everything a child does is a test on a parents reaction on how they will deal with it. And i tested my parents. My parents didn't spank just to spank, every situation had a different reaction. I have a sister who believes in sparing the rod and her kid DOSE NOT LISTEN!!! That kid walks all over her he's only 3. She try's TIME OUTS which i think is the funniest thing ever because he never does it. The reason why it doesn't work is because it's like a small dog all bark and no bite. Children need to know the second they step out of line that rod will follow. You have to be strict with your kids, they must respect you. Later you can loosen up a little. It doesn't work the other way loose then strict by the time you decide to lay down the law your kid will never believe you, ask my sister. Who ever wrote these 5 reasons to spare the rod i think is a dumb ass. Spanking your kid doesn't lead to all this. Abusing your kid will lead to this. Spanking and ABUSING are two totally different things.

 oh my god, i have got enough of beatings from my parents. even though they are good souls i have to admit to the fact that the most dangerous impact of their physical punishment is my very wrong feeling that might is right. that has lead me to boxing someone less physically fit than me. moreover, i see a tendancy in my 3 yr old kid to obey only with a bit of beating. i have been doing it and it is a promise to all those who read this and more so to my three year old child and my wife that i will never physically punish my child. all of three and he already gets few wacks on his legs and hands and be sure baby, no more, i love you thanks priyanka for the eye opener.
