[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 214737, member: 3907"] Re: corporal punishment, I think that like so many things, it all depends on the situation and the child involved. I know that for me, spanking made me more defiant. When my difficult child-mom came at me with the belt, buckle end swinging, I looked her in the eye and said "That didn't hurt! Do it again, I dare you." Little easy child is so much like me in temperament that I never considered corporal punishment for him. I just didn't think it would work. I've never tried it with difficult child either. He is hyper-tactile, and I have no idea what kind of pain response he would have, and don't want to cause him agony when I'm just trying to get his attention and sort out his behaviour. I also think that for him, it teaches that the biggest fist wins, NOT a lesson that he needs to learn. husband has spanked him occasionally, but I have strongly discouraged it. Step-D was way too old for me to even try disciplining her when I came into their lives. With only 9 years' difference in our ages, it just didn't seem to be my place. I am glad to hear that Nebraska has struck a task force/committee/whatever to look at the broader issue of services for mentally ill children and teens. Praying that they find and implement a solution. Trinity [/QUOTE]
