Logic and reasoning additionally don't work because Spankings are the only logical response. IE it creates a sense of "Wow, if I do that, I get hurt". However the punishments used in this video are incredibly harsh.
You shouldn't hit children at all. Children aren't math problems, they won't come out the same way every time you do something. Certainly they learn through trial and error, but hitting them doesn't gurantee they will think that in the same light. They have an outlet of blame when a parent hits them, let alone the fact they may pick up that violent tendency.
What you put in you get out. Correct?
I don't even get the whole thing about 'pulling cards'.
Damn if i was that kid, if she wasnt wearing glasses, I would spit it in here face and watch as it burned her eyes out.
We had cards in my elementary school. They were pretty much nothing more than notes to your parents saying what you did bad that day.So if you were good all day you would have no cards, if you were a little punk all day you would come home with multiple cards.
so a cold shower is to much for you guys? seems like a pretty tame punishment, even if its weird.
