    Because I was beaten as a child and it did not have the effect that Dad was looking for.  Girls have thinner skin and bruise very easily.  It's hard to explain black eyes to the teacher.  Let's just say I don't love my Dad as a result.
    "Beaten" and "Corporal Punishment" (for a child) are two different things.

    Forgive your father.

    • The title of this thread is using wrong terminology.  Does a two year old need corporal punishment?  No.  Do they need correcting and small swats on their backside and smacks on the hand?  Yes.  It doesn't take much.

    Exactly. Acute response to the pattern of bad behavior.

    • No one said beating.  Corporal punishment define.  I am age 73. Babies learn as soon as they are born.  Nuns in orphanages gave a pop on the hip if a child was kicking and fussing to be diaper changed.  They learnt.  If a child knows what is wrong and does it, you best discipline.

    This world took a pop on the butt and called it criminal in the next generation.  Now we have parents afraid to discipline.  Schools can not discipline without being sued.

    children can not learn in a noisy classroom, yet the teachers/change agents, are told just the opposite. When a classroom is disruptive, a teacher/change agent can not teach.

    I see disruption on our city street.  There is a group of 4 boys ages 6 to 10.  Steal fruit, damage it, from the neighbors yard.  I the dark of night, on electric powered scooters, no helmets, bare foot and we the driver is to see them?  Parents just don't care, they don't.  In 1980, being military, a boy on a bouncer in the middle of the street on Air Force base.  I, driving, saw a slow down in traffic and the cars going around an object in the street.  Yeap!  I pulled over, had the child point to his home and we went there.  Was the mother surprised, no she wasn't.  She said, "If if get hurt it is God's decision.  

    So, please, discipline, if you don't we all suffer, kids learn nothing. You think things are not so good now, wait til they are older!!!

    I’m just wondering how else a little baby is to express that his bottom is uncomfortable because his diaper needs changed? Or maybe you are talking about older babies that are fighting a diaper change?

    I agree when the baby gets older they should be disciplined but I think it would be cruel and unnatural for a mom (or anyone) to strike a young baby who is communicating a need by crying.

    • I would recommend that you forget the "terrible two's" or expressions like that. I feel like they only serve to precondition you expect a bad experience and if you are rather impatient, that may add to the impatience. Sometimes it is not the punishment itself for how the punishment is carried out. A parent who is not calm or patient makes it worse.

    By the way tradition in action has some good guides on this for different stages of development. Not just on correction but how to set expectations for the children. This article for example: The Training & Disciplining Children
    Do a search for Discipline on their website and you will find many resources on that subject to consider.

    Yes. The title of this thread fuels the lies of Catholic-haters.

    Not the person you were responding to. Forgiveness is a choice and, yes, they should choose to forgive....but forgiveness is also a process, a metabolizing, if you will, of the experience. Children especially, do not have the resources to process a lot of what happens to them and it's often not until middle age or later that a person really can work through it. Therefore, tread carefully in this area, do not be quick to diminish or dismiss someone else's experience; act like a mature human being, not a cock-sure blockheaded engineer.

    • Punishment for 2's should be a switch to their leg or something. 

    No one in this thread is saying to "beat" a 2 year old. 

    Can you emotional women understand this, and stay in your lane please? I am very sorry for anyone who had abusive parents, God will give due justice, but YES, you SHALL forgive to be forgiven. This is a very missed point of Christianity, and women are way worse than this than men.

    Realize times have changed, and the goal post has moved so far left, perceptions are anything but objectively correct.

    You clearly have never experienced abuse from a parent. And men can be affected too. Imagine a man abused by his mom and/or dad and just sucking it up when he grows up. No, it’ll affect him for the rest of his life and even how he raises his future children.

    I understand, and I'm sorry. Still need to forgive.
