Expressing supportI have a 7-year-old son who has cerebral palsy. He attends public school in Davidson County. I am thankful that they still use paddling as a form of discipline.

Proverbs 22:15: "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him." What is wrong for a "normal" child is still wrong for a disabled child. The problem with most teachers and school systems is they don't care enough about the future of that child. They are only concerned with getting them through the school year and out of their class.

She's got it right. I advocate spanking, if it works for that child, about from age 2 to 8. The key is to make it a dramatic and methodical, telling them how much its going to hurt, and the slapping noise causes more pain than the physical contact.
was greatly offended by the editorial "Spanking children" (June 2).

While some forms of modern discipline may work for some children some times, they do not work for all children all the time. My son is perfectly content to play by himself, so "time out" does not work with him.
When your "other ways of disciplining a child" fails, then what? Your editorial states, "But an important component of discipline is the understanding that we must work with those with whom we disagree. We cannot simply lose our tempers and strike them." Our society was better off when schools used paddling as a regular form of discipline. Responsible adults do not spank because we lose our tempers. We do not spank because we disagree with a child. We spank because we love the child enough to teach him or her to behave appropriately.

If I knew this woman I'd call her in for suspected child abuse. It's never appropriate to use physical punishment on a child who has a physical malady such as cerebral palsy. She needs a lesson in patience, parenting and understanding.
And to Robin Litaker has it occurred to you that your child was born wit cerebral palsy as a divine test which you have failed?
Would everyone who reads this PLEASE ALERT THE POLICE AND DSS TO SAVE THIS CHILD FROM FUTURE ABUSE? PLEASE !!!!

Not when done correctly. I've raised it to an art form with my kids.The problem with spanking is that all the hard evidence is against it.

Anybody who spanks their children these days is living in the wrong decade. There is more to discipline than forcing kids to do something by using violence.
If your kid is doing something that deserves spanking, how can you not be angry?
What actions "deserve" spanking?

Kids do all sorts of things that are 'deserving of a spanking' - doesn't mean it makes you angry when they do ti.
Evidently, you've never been through Basic Training.Adults are not physically stricken, no matter what they do.
Smaller and weaker, huh? You should come teach high school for a little while. :lol:Children don't deserve less protection than adults. If anything, they deserve more. They're smaller and weaker.
