Should parents Spank their Kids? Absolutely Not! Says Pastor and Education Consultant

Should parents spank their kids?

"Absolutely not," says Dr. Roland Trujillo Doctor of Pastoral Psychology, pastor, lecturer, and author of 16 books. "It is totally unnecessary." .

 "Dr. Roland Trujillo and Senior Pastor has written the book (now at Amazon.com) on alternatives to spanking. It is called Santa's Take on Parenting: Secrets from the North Pole. It will actually mentor you in learning how to apply Biblical patience and wisdom in working with your kids. It is also one of the sweetest books ever written and is right up there with Miracle on 34th Street as an all time reminder of what love is all about. "

 Little kids don't need discipline, they need direction and redirection. They need watching with love, kindness, and patience. Older kids need the loving presence of an involved aware parent. They need mentoring, coaching, and a parent who sets a good example. I'm going to tell you the truth. Time outs or spanking are poor substitutes for patience and wisdom.

 Often after we have become resentful, our patience runs out. Then we feel frustration. If we are not yelling (or worse), we look for some way to force the child to comply. .

 We might even resort to a canned, cleverly marketed Orwellian behavior modification program to sugar coat forced compliance. Then there is always the spectre of psychotropic meds.
Incidentally, I don't buy the Biblical argument for spanking. Parenting Freedom has a good article on the subject. Samuel Martin wrote an outstanding book about the subject of spanking and Biblical references.
