This father seems normal but hearing of this makes me rather uncomfortable. Your opinions, please. NOT normal - take this from one who was abused by her father severly. He has no business even seeing their bare bottoms unless it is a medical emergency. And, spanking bare skin is more likely to leave injuries. And, spanking should be reserved for direct defiance only. Too many parents spank for everything, and that shouldn't be. And, it should be done consistently, with a full understanding between the parent and child of the rules and the consequences, and it should never be so hard as to leave any kind of mark. It should be enough to get the point across and to hopefully deter the child from returning to that behavior, but not enough to cause injury. There are also other creative methods of child discipline that don't involve spanking at all. I think spanking should be a last result thing when nothing else works, though I don't believe in bribing children or giving in to blackmail. I do believe in rewards for good behavior, but not while the child is acting up as a way to bribe the child to behave. Rewards should also be preplanned in advance and the child should know that certain behaviors result in certain rewards. And, last of all, spanking should never be done in anger. Well, that's my take on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer is no, it is not appropriate for a father to swat his 9 year old on their bare bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
