Dare to Discipline

[shey0811]

---

I came from a family that values discipline so much.. We grew up fearing our father whose voice looms in the house even until now when we've come of age. We never regret having been disciplined by him because we grew up to be persons who are God-fearing and contributors to the society...(both my brother and I are educators)...There are some parents of today though who are not in favor of discipline, of teaching their children lessons the hard way. I never really experienced kneeling on salt while holding books on two outstretched arms, nor getting smoked while inside a sack that is hanging by a tree, but I had my share of spanking.
Looking at the status of kids in this generation, I still think discipline has its own advantages...What do you have to say?

[ingkiang]

yah, i agree with you...i experienced kneeling in salt, spanking and everyday sermon with my mom during my elementary and highskul days...it help keep me straight and achieve of wat i am now...but for me, its all boils down on how well the parents can discipline their kids on their own ways....wat im saying is, ders no best method for that, and also of how the child interpret the things that their parents did to them..just my opinion though...

[shey0811]

I think what you meant is that it is okay to discipline just as long as you know how to "process" after...Yeah, you have to let the child know the reason why you have to punish him or her plus learn to reward good deeds also...as always, anything in excess is still not healthy...

I grow up always being scolded by my dad..but I grow up rebellious in the end.. now I realize that he only scold me for me to change...

[eilrach]

same here.. I grow up fearing my father.. but now, I am thankful for all the things that he showed me... I don't think that i am where i am now if it's not because of him.

haha...

my mother ruled with an iron fist...

she is gentle and caring and loving...

but when you dare cross her....you better get your knees and your butts ready....

i am a hardheaded child..and until now..i am still hardheaded...

i am an only child..but i never grew up being spoiled...

the first time i answered back..my mother made me eat..sili..di ka malain ana...hahaha...

but then she explained to my why..and comforted me in the end...

she stopped spanking me when i got into hiskul...

in place of spanking were days and days of scolding....

all through hiskul and college...we fought..and she kept on scolding me...for one reason...

i keep on breaking my promises..she made me promise not to get into a relationship with boys...

and yet somehow..i found boys irresistable...and every year i always end up with a new boyfriend..because i had to break up with the previous one kai masakpan man...

she kept on threatening me..nga di nko pahumanon skwela..kai mahagbong rako kai ng uyab2x..blah2x...

pero despite ana...gpahuman mn ghapon ko..and cge ghapon kog uyab2x...

pero...if lenient pa au akoa mama..wai siguro mabdos nako...bwahaha..

maski ng underground igat2x ko..hadlok ghapon ko mama..mao wa jd tawon ko magtinga....

i rebelled in my own way..but i never rebelled to the point of compromising my future...

my mother has the iron fist...

my father has to gift to make you realize your mistakes without laying a hand on you...

my father never laid a hand on me...

maski grabe na au amoa away sa akoa mama....hapit nami magpatay...hehe....

at times mulaban akoa papa nko...pero pakonsinsyaon ka in the end

i think discipline is important...

whatever the method is...

dapat disciplinado imo bata...

magpuyo kung wala sa ilang balay.

dili manghilabot.

dili magkiat.

dili mang manipulate.

mupatuo nimo if imo badlongon...

kelangan mn ipakta nimo sa bata who is in control...

kai magtuo mana clang nga cla matuman..mao if d tumanan..hilak daun...

discipline is a good thing...physical abuse is different...

[lyrrek]

i agree that discipline should be imposed within the family esp when kids are still young,
kay inig dako dli na maminaw sa amahan and inahan...

i thinks also na it's best na ang father magpakita sa iyang authority within the family..

SPARE THE ROD, OR SPOIL THE CHILD... (and create a monster in the society)

"He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes" (Proverbs 13:24)

"Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell." (Proverbs 23:13-14)
