If you take a course in how to discipline a child at what age and you can effectively discipline them with out resorting to spanking, than you may be able to convince them. This entire thing is a hotly debated issue and some people are just not going to be swayed. (but putting in plastic protector prongs beforehand is clearly preferable.) Sometimes a quick swat on the bottom to prevent a pre-verbal toddler from electrocuting himself putting his finger in the outlet, does serve its purpose. I personally don’t believe that all spanking is automatically abusive but the potential is there. I know it’s easier said than done but it is important because it can easily get out of hand bordering upon abuse. If any type of physical discipline is used, it’s extremely important that it not be done merely to relieve frustration on the part of the parent. Take some time to cool of and approach the issue with a clear head and calm demeanor. If your wife proves to be adamant about her pov on the spanking issue then it is imperative that you two agree beforehand on the limits of this method.Ī good rule of thumb is to never use physical discipline when angry at the child. Children have a finely tuned instinct for playing one parent against the other and being raised with INCONSISTENT discipline has actually proven to be more damaging than either too strict or too lenient. I don’t know how old your child is, but it is imperative that you and your wife find an agreement on discipline ASAP. Perhaps he can also recommend some good books on the subject. Your wife and MIL might be more inclined to accept this info from a professional. You may also need reinforcement from your family pediatrician. I’m on my old iPhone so can’t do links but this info is not too difficult to find.įor starters, I’d recommend the excellent poem, Children Learn What They Live.
It shows that children raised with violence tend toward more violence. There is plenty of research to back you up on that.
