What's Your Opinion Regarding Spanking A Child?

do you think it is ever appropriate?

should it be illegal?

do you think the bible recommends doing this?

Believe me, they haven't gotten such good manners and behavior by silly timeouts, or counting 'til whatever number, or silly stuff like taking TV/games away or grounding them. NOPE!, but by good spankings when they got out of rule!

Maybe in their case, but different things work with different kids. Timeouts and taking away things works with lots of kids.

The ones who never received physical discipline were the ones that were disrespectful to peers and those in charge

Just because someone chooses not to smack their child does not mean they will end up being disrespectful or unruly, some will some wont, just as some children that were smacked will also.

The main thing a child needs is consistancy in discipline and they need to know what is and isnt acceptable and why. They learn this through talking and reasoning.

There was a great program on TV the other day, called Super Nanny. The nanny goes into peoples house who have out of control kids or behaviour problems. It was amazing the transformation of these kids in just two weeks. She had a very simple three step program.

1 ) Come down to their level and give a firm verbal warning - explaining what they have done wrong

2) naughty corner or step if they ignore the warning - until they say sorry or tidy up what they did

3) if they continue after the corner - take away a toy - they had a box where these toys went into.

It really started to work after just a couple of days. The main thing that was needed was consistancy and always follow through on the warning.

Scans uncover secrets of the womb

Baby 'walking' in the womb

A new type of ultrasound scan has produced vivid pictures of a 12 week-old foetus "walking" in the womb.

The new images also show foetuses apparently yawning and rubbing its eyes.

The scans, pioneered by Professor Stuart Campbell at London's Create Health Clinic, are much more detailed than conventional ultrasound.

Professor Campbell has previously released images of unborn babies appearing to smile.

He has compiled a book of the images called Watch Me Grow.

Conventional ultrasound, usually offered to mothers at 12 and 20 weeks, produces 2D images of the developing foetus.

These are very useful for helping doctors to measure and assess the growth of the foetus, but convey very little information about behaviour.

Complex behaviour

More pictures of developing foetuses

Professor Campbell has perfected a technique which not only produces detailed 3D images, but records foetal movement in real time.

He says his work has been able to show for the first time that the unborn baby engages in complex behaviour from an early stage of its development.

Professor Campbell told the BBC: "This is a new science for understanding and mapping out the behaviour of the baby.

"Maybe in the future it will help us understand and diagnose genetic disease, maybe even conditions like cerebral palsy which puzzles the medical profession as to why it occurs."

The images have shown:

From 12 weeks, unborn babies can stretch, kick and leap around the womb - well before the mother can feel movement
From 18 weeks, they can open their eyes although most doctors thought eyelids were fused until 26 weeks
From 26 weeks, they appear to exhibit a whole range of typical baby behaviour and moods, including scratching, smiling, crying, hiccuping, and sucking.
Until recently it was thought that smiling did not start until six weeks after birth.

An hour long session using the new technology, which is not yet available on the NHS, costs £275.

This is about out beloved Dansk

by mouthy in

how sorry i was to hear from dansk-he is going through a very difficult time.. i would like all prayers, thoughts, please keep this in mind ____ for me!!!!.

the sad news he has cancer.it is lymphoma!!!

they are waiting on the results of the biopsy before determining treatment..... he didnt want me to say anything at first- as he feels you all have your own problems & he didnt want to upset anyone-because he says "they are dear friends".

Angharad

Glad it went well Ian and that this doctor seems more willing to listen to you - Fingers crossed for that slight chance they were wrong about the diagnosis.
