A time to spank....

[LadyBug]

At what age do you think it is appropriate to start giving 'pop pops' either on the hands or legs as a discipline means?

My daughter is 15 months and is very intelligent, most often she knows when she is doing something wrong. Lately, she has started hitting when told 'no'. I think she needs to be spanked, my husband disagrees.

Sister, I would NEVER want to suggest anything that's contrary to what a husband and wife decide to do, BUT I feel that you should be tapping that little butt NOW.

If you know that she understands "no" yet continues to do what she is doing, a little tap on that boo-tay will not hurt a thing. It gives her something to think about the next time she hears your warnings.

She's "daddy's girl" and he can't see doing it right now, but the sooner you start letting her know that she will have a little consequence for her actions, it won't be long before you break her of a lot of that little 'persistent' behavior.

Allowing her behavior to go unchecked will result in her trying something else, and then something else after that, and then your husband will be wondering where y'all lost track of disciplining her.

You don't have to get her for every little thing she does, let the punishment fit the crime, but don't be waiting until she's two or three either. We have kids that age who turn church out darn near EVERY Sunday, so you know THAT'S bad.

Control her, don't let her control you... :wink:

yeah tap that little butt but make sure she's getting something out of it, make sure she understands its a consequence

I gotta agree with Harmony and nas!! Nip It In The Bud NOW!! if not, they feel they can carry on with that type of behavior. Especially once she's in daycare and starts the madness. Daycare providers won't tolerate it and if it keeps up, she won't be allowed back there.

We love ya Ladybug and don't want 'cha calling Nanny 911 it's schumthin' you can handle.

My nephew bit me one day so I bit him back (not hard though). He looked at me like :eek: . Said to ma'self with a smirk on my face "That'll Learn Ya, Darn Ya". Then told his mamma what I did..

You'll be aiight. :)
