| North Texans Sound Off On Yelling Vs. Spanking Study |
| 2014-03-06 |
 [DFW.CBSLOCAL] How to discipline or punish children is always a hot topic. Give the little darlings lots of love and attention... Questions always arise over what is effective and when is the line crossed? Yelling, shouting, and raising your voice...may feel natural. If they get out of line, knock them into next Thursday. But a new study says those actions should only be used to get a child's attention. |

| #11 ..I have heard it said that yelling at monkeys makes them even less likely to perform as desired. The presented alternative is, therefore, in this specific case, more likely to result in more satisfying and quieter results.. |

| #10 I'm glad my son is not like that! -- yet! FIFY I think what is effective depends on the kid in question. Some require a whack upside the head (or spanking). Others more. With some a quiet explanation or expression of disapproval would do. Funny when my 7YO (autistic) son gets in trouble and we yell at him he runs off to his room shouting 'Don't Kill Me!'. I have no idea where he picked that up - I don't think we killed him before and swatted him on the butt only once. |

| #9 I haven't spanked my son (7yo) and yell at him rarely. For him, quiet explanation on what is happening and why works well. If he does act up, I will yell briefly and since I do it so rarely you would think I just beat the kid with a belt. Now for a kid like I was.... a switch might have been the better discipline tool. I'm glad my son is not like that! |

| #4 I got excellent results by reducing my son's (8) computer access time. |

| #3 These are not adults, they don't have judgment to be argued with. A swat on the backside is what they are capable of understanding, if I do this, I get spanked, Therefore I don't do this. Versus son, electricity can hurt you because you're grounded and when you stick a fork into that wall socket you'll complete the circuit which will cause an over current to short out your nervous system. Yeah right. And more than anything else, you are not your child's friend, you are his parent. The so called experts are quacks. |

| #1 those actions should only be used to get a child's attention. Some kids are pretty stubborn that way - kind of mule-like - & you can't get their attention with much less than a 2 x 4 upside the head. |
