^ true.. beating a kid and sending him/her to their room doesn't really do anything but create anger and hatred in the child.. but if you spank them and then explain WHY they got their ass spanked... and then explain that if they don't do it again, then they wont get whipped again... then it goes alot further.. I had my ass beat as a child... my mother was a single mother who believed in spare the rod, spoil the child.. that is to say if we did wrong, she tore our ass up.. even playing psychological games such as sending us to pick our own switches.... and I believe i'm a better person for it... I thank her everyday of my life for every ass whippin I ever got.. I also feel I should have gotten more...
I should have explained myself a little further.. I uess I thought you could look at my ass and read my mind..
A lot of kids that are diagnosed ADHD or ADD are just bad ass kids.. my cousin has two that are diagnosed ADHD.. and the only thing wrong with them is her.. she babies them and makes deals with them to get what she wants out of them.. instead of just beating their ass (I don't mean beat in the literal sense) lke they need... and she often plays, what I call, Russian Roulette.. warning them numerous times before ever making a move to carry out her threats...and use's everyone uses the ADHD as an excuse.. when you get onto them, they sy "well they're ADHD, they can't help it".. and the child knows it... if you start to spank one of 'em, they'll pull the "but I haven't had my pill today" shit.. but when you leave them with me.. they know what the bussiness is.. you get told one time... after that it's busted asses and runny noses from there on out.. and I never have a problem with them.. but let their mother walk thru the door and it's another story...
