Which of these methods are acceptable ?
by The CosmicKid on Jun 26, 2007 10:33 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I would like to know what readers think of the following methods of physical punishment. I have been using them regularly on my children.
1. Ear twisting using varying degrees of force depending on offense committed.
2. Face slapping on both/one side. Face slapping while using the child's hair to hold the head steady.
3. Hair pulling. Hair pulling and slapping at the same time.
4. Using a bamboo cane. I keep two different sizes.
5. Using a piece of chalk between the fingers and squeezing hard. I am not sure if this hurts the bones in the fingers.
6. Light punching with a fist. I don't punch them in the face.
3. Arm twisting. For really small children you might want to to hold the shoulder area steady or the entire body might twist, dampening the effect of this punishment.

Thank you. Any help will be appreciated

You must be put into jail immediately when law comes into force. You are simply abusing your kids. Please give me your contact details and I will call the police to arrest you.You should feel ashamed of yourself as you have to adopt such punishments methods. I think some one should do same things to you as well.
