Spanking Children – A Necessity Or Not?

Posted by Sean on December 31, 2009

 

New Research: Why Never Spanking Might Be Worse for Kids Than Spanking Them – NurtureShock Blog – Newsweek.com

No I do not have children of my own, but I have my fair share of children in my life. So please don’t judge my opinion as false just because I have not had the blessing of raising my own children.

I find this article interesting because it drives home the one thing I have been saying all these years about ‘spanking’ or ‘disciplining’ children. I for one support spanking – but more importantly I support consistent disciplining.

then perhaps the consistency of discipline is more important than the form of discipline. In other words, spanking regularly isn’t the problem; the problem is having no regular form of discipline at all.

I was ‘spanked’ as a child. Discipline was always present in my household as a child.

I don’t think I’m the only one that has noticed the ‘out-of-control’ children and ”disrespectful’ youth that populate our streets these days. I often wonder if discipline or ‘spanking’ was part of their rearing?

Things that make you go hmmm. Thinking

How Small We Really Are

Posted by Sean on December 21, 2009

I always like to keep things in perspective. When it comes to our own personal bravado and the incessant annoyances of celebrities and their likes, I truly am amazed at how ‘BIG’ we think of ourselves.

This video puts things back in perspective. It’s a tad long, but worth the view.

 

 

Just how big are we? Really?

I Wonder….

Obesity and central abdominal fat are related to calcification in the abdominal and coronary aorta, researchers report in the August 15th issue of the American Journal of Cardiology.

I wonder who in the world pays for these studies? How do we fund such research, when common sense is free?

Sorry. Was that my outside voice?

Abdominal Fat Linked to Aortic Calcification.
