In The Color of Water, James references to many times when Ruth used the belt to discipline her 12 children. How do you feel about Ruth McBride Jordan's use of a belt to discipline her children? Does this use of discipline still work in today's society?

Should Spanking Be Banned?

In my own opinion i feel like Ruth was doing the right thing by beating her kids with belts. I feel like that because shes raising them all by herself. Yes people are still using this method only because that might be the only time when their child will listen to them an another thing is that it might teach them a listen on what they're not suppose 2 be doing.
I think that spanking should not be banned because kids these days be out of line and then deserve one now and then but i think that they should be spanking at the ages of 6 and up. people these days could mistake it as abuse but it's not.i mean you telling me that if your child was in the store next to you throwing a tantrum and chucking clothes left and right you wouldn't spank him/her think about?
Children as young as the age of two know right from wrong. For example, my nephew is a toddler, but he can tell when he is misbehaving. Sometimes, a mild spanking can remind a child of their place and correct their behavior. As long as spankings are not brutal, they should not be banned. Parents should be able to reserve the right to raise their children in their own fashion and on the same principle they were brought up with. Discipline should always be tempered with LOVE!
I do not believe there is anything wrong with spanking your children. Children need to know right from wrong. I am not saying go out and beat your children until you get tired but there is nothing wrong with giving them a light beating. Most children when you talk to them nicely it seem like they do not understand.
While getting a spanking hurts sometimes it is needed. If you don't show your child that you mean business than they are going to do whatever they want. A spanking shows them that you don't agree with what they are doing and aren't going to accept it. You can't die from a spanking.
I agree with spanking children because its out of love just to let the child know what he/ she did was wrong and that they shouldnt do it again i feel like that is why my generation is out of control because parents do not disiplin their children anymore so they are going to continue to do as they please when i was growing up and got introuble at school or did something bad i already knew i would get a beaten. Im not saying abuse your child but just disiplin them so they know not to do what ever they did again.
YES, kids today are out of control, back in the day school were allow to give corporal punishment and in those days there was as many people getting murder and shootings in school the world was more at peace. In today's society kids think they can beat adults they think they run the show. Thats why the world is crazy and why people are killing each other there is no control, parents have no control.
@tiffany i agree you should not beat your children until your are causing them extreme pain or until it is considered abuse but i do believe in spanking your children a little
