Is Spanking Your Kid Discipline or Abuse?
Description
Is spanking discipline… or is it abuse?
It’s one of the biggest debates in parenting, and there’s no shortage of opinions.
In this episode of Love, Life & Lessons, Khyren takes on the uncomfortable conversation surrounding spanking and asks where the line between discipline and abuse actually begins.
What if you were spanked as a child and believe it made you respectful?
What if you’ve tried talking, grounding, taking away privileges, and nothing seems to work?
Does a parent’s intention matter?
Does the child’s age matter?
Does how hard the parent hits matter?
And what happens when discipline turns into anger?
We’ll look at both sides of the debate, different parenting situations, the difference between discipline and punishment, and whether the lessons we’re passing down from one generation to the next are actually the lessons we want our children to carry.
This isn’t about telling you how to parent.
It’s about asking a difficult question:
Are we teaching children to make better decisions… or simply teaching them to fear the consequences?
This is Day 3 of the 30-Day Episode Series.
