I just want to see what everyone thinks in regards to discipline.
For parents do you spank your child? How do you cope when your child acts out in public? What methods work for you?

This is for serious answers only please. Thank you.

Well i’m not a parent but I don’t believe in spanking children. What are they going to learn? Nothing because the pain is going to be so bad that they are going to forget what happened. I have a god daughter and whenever she acts out in public I ignore her. I listen to her, explain to her why she doesn’t need whatever she wants, tell her own plans for the day (so she’ll know that what she wants has nothing to do with our day) and keep on walking. She cries which I hate but kids want everything.
I believe if you talk to them, ask them questions, wait for their answer and explain to them why or the consequences they will get it then they won’t get so out of control.

It seems to me that in today’s world, parents don’t discipline their kids and that they are free to rule over their parents. I was spanked as a child and it didn’t seem to have a negative impact on my life.

Not only is spanking acceptable it’s VERY productive if used correctly, and at the right moments. I couldn’t agree with you more, I was spanked too, and am grateful for my parents teaching!

I’m interested in learning more about different techniques to change a child’s behavior. I’ve heard of limiting sugar, quitting additives and food dyes. Also cutting out dairy and wheat. Just wondered if there were other dietary restrictions that could help.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking, but my daughter’s behavior is better when she eats frequently, doesn’t eat a lot of sugar and has a serving of protein first thing in the morning.

i was at dinner last night with a friend and my daughter (14 months) started to act up. It wasn’t embarrassing for me but I felt bad for my friend. She said she didn’t mind but I still apologized about it.

Do u apologize (to any one) for ur child’s bad behavior in public?

Yes, if you have a small child it’s understandable for them to misbehave but it is polite to apologize for having put those around you in that situation. People will be understanding and appreciative. However, when it comes to places like movie theaters I expect parents to leave babies at home and if you bring an older child but they do start crying, to take them out of the theater immediately. Anything less is very rude.

When they get older you should teach them to apologize or at least tell them they are being rude. Kids whose parents let them get away with bad behavior don’t see it as wrong and become bratty.
