Spanking or Nah?


Spanking is used to punish a child from doing something bad. Now spanking should be on the back side, the buttocks, in order for it to meant as a spanking. It should not occur anywhere else. I am pro-spanking because I do think that it helps kids understand right from wrong.

I say that because I was spanked when I was little. I was a little trouble maker at home. My biggest problem was talking back (go figure!) and picking on my brother and sister. I was spanked mostly with a belt. Let me tell you, I straightened up after it though. I learned quickly what is right and what is wrong.

I was always a rough little kid anyway, so the only way to get through to me was by spanking. It taught me to respect my parents more. This might sound crazy, but I am glad I was spanked when I was little because it helped me into the woman I am today.

There are other forms of punishment like the time out method. The time out method is the form of punishment that my sister use for Anna Claire whenever she gets in trouble. Valerie will say "that's one" and if Anna Claire keeps doing something bad then Valerie will continue to say, "that's two" and "that's three, go to timeout". Valerie gives Anna Claire a minute between each count before she gets to three. It gives Anna Claire a time to think about her actions and to correct them.

Once in timeout, Anna Claire has to sit there for one minute. After the minute, Anna Claire has a chance to say sorry and that she will not do it again and then they will hug. This clears up Anna Claire hurt feelings. This is a good method because it still gets the point across, but the spank method can strengthen the time out method.

I do think that spanking should be the ultimate punishment. I do think that when it is used effectively that it can strengthen the other form of punishment, no matter what it is. I do think that it will teach kids at a young age where the line is drawn. The spank method should only be used at the rear side and nowhere else. I do think parents should check to see where they are at emotionally before spanking a child.

The Benefits of Being Outside

Image
A two-year-old playing outside is COMPLETELY different from anything else. It is a bunch of running and make believe for sure. It is very tiresome physically and mentally. This weekend was more exhausting because we were able to celebrate our Lord and Savior and hunt Easter eggs in the yard. The list are some benefits to playing outside and ideas to keep a toddler entertained outside! 1. Increase Social Skills Anna Claire loves to be outside. She loves to run around and play with all of us. It has helped her in her social skills a lot . She has learned to ask for someone to come play with her in her playhouse. She has learned to interact with not only children her own age, but with adults too. 2. Vitamin D We live in a technology world where everything is at the tip of our finger tips. It is an awesome world we live in, but it does not beat being outside in the sunshine. This weekend Anna Claire got a great big dose of Vitamin D straight from the sunshine. It is a lot easier to p

Meet the Roomies!

Hi again! My roomies are literally the best. Yes, I may be a little biased! Our situation is not normal to everyone else, but to us it is pretty normal. I honestly would not have it any other way! Our home is filled with love, laughter, and chaos! I would not trade it for the world. A home is not complete without a pet, obviously, so we have a thirteen-year-old shih-poo that is basically deaf and almost blind, named Charlie. He is the sweetest dog too! We also have a couple of hermit crabs and their names are "Hot" and "Ew"! My sister name is Valerie and she is 29 years old! She is a little bit taller than me (she always lets me know) and she has deep red hair. She is a nurse practitioner and a mother! She has a bubbly personality, a kind heart, and she is incredibly smart! We are very close with one another. Even though she is my sister, I still consider her as one of my best friends. We do get on each other nerves, but that is life. At the end of the day, we

Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is so much more fun when you are a kid. I say this because it was a lot of fun preparing for this day for Anna Claire. I love to give gifts. I love giving a gift to someone and to see the look on their face when the gift is given. Anna Claire got gifts this morning for Valentine's Day, and she was super excited. Valerie shopped really hard to find her little toys and candy.  I am pretty sure that if she could give her the world, she definitely would! Valerie and I went to Walmart over the weekend to prepare for this morning. Valerie got her little box of chocolate candies, poppy, which is her favorite troll, gummies and a cute little stuff frog as well. Anna Claire has a Valentine's Day party for her daycare. The moms are supposed to bring a snack that their own kid likes, so that every kid will have at least one thing that they like at the party. Valerie decided to take apple, mandarin oranges, and grapes because that is Anna Claire's favorite. Th
