You should give them three warnings and after that punish them. It is very important that when you warn, you mean it, and that you only warn and not threaten, says Dr. Paula. He also talks about punishments. Personally I think that all kids should be punished different. You can t punish all kids the same.
Some parents say that spanking is abuse.
I disagree to that. Abuse is when you hurt someone so bad that they are bleeding or you see bruises. I hear some parents say that they will never hit their child. A pop on the hand or leg is not abuse but a form of scolding. The kids that are growing up in this society need a spanking.
