Hi, Mon. Thank you for sharing your story. I realize that as parents, we should also evolve as our children reach different stages.

I must say a thought provoking post. We sometimes have to be “awakened ” by our love ones before we can see what’s wrong with us. Being with a supportive family is a good start. Thanks for sharing.

Jean - thank you for sharing your story.It is really great to know the parenting style of other people.

RogerDJ - Hello there! Nice to hear your story as well. In my case, I was never spanked by my parents but my brother and bother-in-law. You are right in saying that “to discipline in anger is really not discipline for the good of the child.” That is why I always tried to think deeply before reacting to any problem or situation my children are having.

When I was a child into my teens, I was spanked often. When I was spanked it was with a lot of anger. It scared me sometimes. When I got smarter I would run as fast as I could and come back later when Dad had cooled down. Yes, I was usually deserving of some kind of discipline when it came but later in life I learned that to discipline in anger is really not discipline for the good of the child and the good of the child should be the goal of discipline in my opinion. We want our children to grow up into responsible , respectful adults who have good character qualities but that means that we have to be disciplined in our approach to them. I agree that it’s not good to be so overbearing and not taking what the other family members are saying seriously but on the other hand I am not trying to be popular with my kids. They need to learn respect for proper authority. Somewhere there is a balance. Very good post . I appreciate your honesty . I also have made mistakes as a Dad and have found that if I will admit that I am wrong to my kids and wife when I become aware of them and not be prideful then there is forgiveness and close relationship again.

nice post. I like what you wrote on “The Awakening”… I’m glad that I have an open minded parents. My grand dad was so strict and disciplinarian with my mom that made her elope with my dad. From that time, they instilled in their mind that they’re not gonna do the same treatment with me. I never got spanked in my entire life from them but I was never a headache from them too.

As an experienced father, you humbly admitted your mistakes and corrected them religiously, and that is what is more important. I salute you for that, partner!

I am still working out for my entry and may post it on my WP blog soon.

By the way, I think you forgot to include a link to your entry on your comment on my invitation post as I was led to your homepage only. I will still accept your entry though.

Thanks for joining.
