Erin, I don't think it's the standing part. It's the arm behind the back which is a control trechnique.

I never recieved across the knee spanks. I don't admin her very few spanks across the knee.

I think the sitting down part is referring to thinking it through for an older child and talking to them about it.

Right now her spanks are "we do NOT xyz" and a swat on her diapered bum. End of story. If I took time to sit her down and explain "you are getting spanked because you chose to xyz" and then spank, it would be lost on her at this age.

It might be lost on her right now, but it might also be a good habit to develop now. Just as something to consider.

I start with "Why did you get spanked?" A younger kid usually responds with something like "Because I wanted the toy" or whatever relates to why they got spanked. That is the opportunity to clarify for them "No, you didn't get spanked because you desired the toy. You got spanked because you bit your brother in pursuit of the toy." After a while they gain that understandin on their own and can tell me the true reason why they were punished and not be so self-focused.

Ruth- I always worry about spankings standing up because on little body it doesn't take a lot of force to hurt their back or have them twist the wrong way/fall over/etc. When I am dealing with a very small child when speed is important, I at least throw them over my left arm so that the "force" is on the hind end and not the full body- that is something that is very important to my dad and also makes it much more matter of fact than just a swat.

That's one way to do it Brandy...and please know that I respect your way of parenting any way you choose to do it with your kids. However, I have personally found that kids will "live up" to the way we treat them or expect from them. So even before they can understand the why, we tell them the why. They may not be able to cognitively tell us the why yet, but eventually they get it and start living it more. We use the word "appropriate" a lot, even with babies. It's not so much the specific act that is wrong a lot of times, it's the appropriateness of the right time and attitude. So that's what we continually tell them from very early on. Justice (21mo) is just starting to get when things are appropriate and when they are not, but I still use that word a lot in corrections. He will get it one day.

We use the word appropriate alot and acceptable. She gets those.

Won't be changing how we spank, as far as discussing it, any time soon. I actually hope to curb the current behaviors and not have to spank at all.

It's not a real spanking if the kid is standing up? I agree with the out of control part, but I didn't know there was a singular position for proper spanking.

ETA: I'll admit, with my toddler, spankings are usually administered quickly, without a bare amount of discussion, and he's typically standing.

No...that is not what I meant anyway. You can spank properly with a child standing up...but they always show a picture of a parent who is whacking their kid in a manner which implies out of control parent rather than a planned consequence......

Which is the whole point behind disciplining our children....so that we do NOT have to punish in any fashion....

I just think too many times (not you Brandy...) that people think that those of us who spank just do it...that there is no other training involved...that we take it lightly.

I tend to take it very seriously, and I know that probably most everyone here does as well...we don't LIKE to spank..therefore we train/curb, etc in order to prevent as many spankings as possible...and to be honest...I hate time outs...so with my one child that time outs were the punishment that worked...I did the same thing...we worked to prevent the negative consequence stuff.....which is the whole point of discipline.....
