Should you spank your child in public?

Answer 1

yes.its legal.i have 3 kids of my own.if they do something wrong in public you should spank them right then.if there is people around it will embarrass the kid and there most likely never to do it again

Answer 2

Generally, no. Corrective discipline should be a private matter. Correcting anyone in public regardless of age is disrespectful. Since you are the parent, you are expected to be the respectful and sane person, and disrespecting others to teach respect does not work. You have to set the example and model what you expect to teach.

It also depends where you are. If the behavior is really bad or there is no private place to go to, then you might have to do so. If you have to delay the correction too long, they may forget what they did.

Answer 3

• No, you should not spank your child in front of his or her friends, but take your child into another room and be stern first and if this does not work then spank your child away from the other children if you cannot control them any other way.

Answer 4

yes. try not to draw too much attention as it will probably get members of society and result in a confrontation. But you should not slap your child.
