Should you spank your kids or not? By Hadley Koltun This week I would like to write about a last resort form of punishment- spanking. I would also like to write about self-discipline for a child- the ultimate goal for discipline and good behaviour. Spanking Spanking is usually the method of choice of many parents who are not aware of effective discipline techniques. For most parents, it is usually a last resort when all other forms of discipline fail to remedy the bad behaviour. However, spanking is general- ly not effective for several rea-- sons: *spanking is a poor role model. It may teach the child to hit others when things go wrong; *it can lead to poor self-confi- dence because the child may start to blame himself for everything that goes wrong; *spanking usually does not teach a child what he has done wrong. Nothing is usually learned from a spanking; *frequent spanking may teach your child to learn ways of avoid- ing 'getting caught'. In other words, your child will not learn how to behave well but will only learn how to escape punishment, *it tends to lose its effective- ness when used too often and may make your child feel bad and angry towards you; *if a parent uses spanking too often, it may mean that he or she has lost control of the situation. This may show the child that the parent cannot cope with the prob- lem. This may allow the child to feel frightened and insecure. The biggest negative aspect of spanking is that a child can mis- interpret a spanking to 'make him pay' for something he has done. A spanking should never be used to hurt a child as well. Although a spanking can be used sparingly to show disap- proval of a behaviour, it may indicate that the parent is frustrat- - ed. Therefore, it should only be used as a last resort. Self-discipline As your child grows and matures, you hope that she will learn to recognize, by herself, when she has done wrong or right. Children naturally strive to become more independent. With this developing indepen- dence must come patience, under- standing and respect for one another from both the parents and children. _ When teaching self-discipline to children, it is necessary that parents become aware of their children as individuals with dis- tinctive personalities, needs and maturity (no two children are alike). / LORDY, LORDY, LOOK WHO'S 40 !

For example, if he refuses to wear mittens in the cold, he will dis- cover that his hands will get cold. Then he may want to wear them. As your child gets older: *if his behaviour bothers you, tell him and try to work out a solution with him; C *involve your child in rule set- ting. Give him responsibility as he shows he can handle it; *allow him to decide his own routines for homework. Allow him to help set up routines for household chores; *if punishment is necessary, explain why he is being punished. Tell him you disapprove of his behaviour (not the person) and agree on an appropriate punish- ment. Self-discipline, as in other techniques of discipline, is a com- mon sense approach to handling children's behaviour. Discipline is a good thing 'ince it helps children to grow and develop into adults with a healthy respect of others. Discipline is also difficult since we all feel guilty or con- fused about it from time to time and this is normal. Talking with another parent or perhaps a teacher or your family doctor may be helpful. Also, don't let discipline inter- fere with the overall enjoyment you share with your child.
