There is definitely a cultural backdrop to some of the disciplining practices of ethnic families. But there is probably a common thread running through our general cultural (religion, for instance, is a reason some think spanking is a no-brainer no matter if they are black or white), because just as many white families spank their kids as black/latino families.Cardeniehttp://www.blog.carisabrewster.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352650946844805920.post-87580270566109898622011-11-10T11:42:24.775-05:002011-11-10T11:42:24.775-05:00I'm going to have to agree with socamom on thi...I'm going to have to agree with socamom on this one! I really didn't get spankings as a child but, my parents and grandparents put the fear of god in me. My family is Jamaican, and all I got was a look and that's all I needed most of the time. My parents grew up in Jamaica and got beat with bamboo when they were out of line AND... the teachers were allowed to beat at school! <br /><br />I do spank my children when necessary. A lot of children today are not disciplined which leads to them being rude and disrespectful. The way they perceive the laws... they're ready to report their parents and call css, daring their parents to put a hand on them! <br /><br />Spankings are allowed and they will tell you that, you just can't leave a mark which sucks for people with light skinned children that turn red when you pinch them! <br /><br />I don't need anyone to tell me how to raise or discipline my children. If I don't raise them, the streets will and I'm NOT going to let that happen!JaelCustomDesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16582793131116054168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352650946844805920.post-73667222420184174382011-11-10T11:37:05.784-05:002011-11-10T11:37:05.784-05:00I have never heard of such a thing!

I parent the very old school Guyanese way but of course know my limits. Wow, this is really something. You would think NY is populated enough that there would have been a psychologist more suited to discuss the issues of child abuse.

I JUST showed my son a Trinidadian swizzle stick online on Monday, and he couldn't believe used to catch that on my backside when I acted up. I am fully aware that I am raising American kids, but they will be disciplined however I see fit. They will not talk back to me, or show off in public. Not gonna happen. As for a white guy telling me how to discipline my kids... Depends. I know kids, black, white, Caribbean, African, who never get spankings, and some that do. Just this Sunday, I saw my our white male Sunday school teacher correct his son in a very.... Well... Imma just say, the boy cracked up and he took a belt to him in full view of everyone. Was he killing him, no. Was the boy out of line, and swift "feel-able" action required? Yes. Bottom line, if I am not killing them, choking them out, or raising a serial killer, Imma need the state to "mine dey business."Socamom.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11579099725271320559noreply@blogger.com
