This method of discipline has produced 6 women who are corporate executives. 4 women who are doctors. 2 lawyers and 1 judge. All the women are very successful. They all attribute their success to “The Family Tradition Spankings”. This book has details of many very severe spankings. There is NO SEX in this book, just generations of swollen and blistered bare bottoms. I got spanked like that until I was 13. It always hurt very much but although I was red and sore afterwards the spankings never left me bruised or anything. The spanking didn’t really fix misbehaviour in the long run, but I did always feel better after I’d been done, and the strategy did sometimes help me tell my parents about important stuff – I’d write it down in the journal entry, they’d read it and we’d have a conversation afterwards. According to a Google search on Adrian Peterson, whether whipping a small child with a tree branch is abuse remains a matter of debate in our culture. Striking a child, as long as it’s within the context of reasonable discipline, is legal in all states. But spanking — when dealt in anger as it often is — sometimes crosses over into our legal definition of child abuse. So the courts are often left deciding what blows are abusive and which are parenting. That’s one reason that more than 40 countries have outlawed spanking entirely — from Norway and the Congo to Brazil and Israel. If it’s not allowed at all, there is no gray area to dispute. My parents spanked me when I was really little, usually just one or two swats on the heiney. My big brothers were real troublesome and six and nine years older than me, so when they started getting in real trouble I was still pretty young. When we got home, we were sent to our rooms. My brother was fighting and yelling, but I went quietly.

Family Discipline - The WELL

These sessions were mostly long lectures on the benefits of spanking, and how it softens a child’s soul. In the second week, though, families were sent home with instructions – to give all eligible kids a good sore bottom to wipe the slate clean and start afresh. I grew up in Texas during the 1960s, and my parents were traditional Southern Baptists. Life for me and my brothers and sisters revolved around church, chores and family. Our lives were governed by a strict Christian morality forbidding alcohol, smoking, gambling and even inappropriate dancing. Knowing firsthand how I feel about the parent who hit me and somewhat familiar with compelling research on the negative outcomes, I fell firmly into the no-spanking camp when it came time to raise my own kids.Most of the ‘therapy’ was nonsense – holding one another super tight for long periods of time while staring into one another’s eyes. We spent three weeks doing this – each session lasting about six hours on a Saturday, mind – being taught to scream in the yard if we needed to get our feelings out. Weird! Afterwards, the children were to be sat, still bare- bottomed, on a plain uncushioned chair and made to write a journal entry about the experience, how we felt, and the lesson we had learned from our spanking. I think little kids who couldn’t write yet had to draw a picture instead. It resembled a large hairbrush without the bristles – and of course, those added airholes gave it more velocity. It stung like the devil, believe me, and it was purposely designed for over-the-knee spankings. It goes like this. From the time a girl becomes a teenager until she gets married or moves out on her own which is normally in her mid 20’s, she gets trained to carry on “The Family Spanking Tradition”. The spankings must be given with an approved wide, oval, heavy wood hairbrush. The spankings must be given on the bare bottom. The spanking doesn't stop until their bottom is crimson, and their sit spot is swollen and blistered. After the spanking the young lady must do one hour of bare bottom corner time with no rubbing allowed. After her corner time she must write a detailed description of her spanking. Those letters are put in a journal to be read when she has a daughter of her own. The spankings came about three months into the ‘programme’. They recommended it for kids aged three to 13, so just me and my middle brother were eligible – I remember my older brother was thrilled that he got to stay home and actually have a Saturday for once.

Another phrase often used as an edict to spank kids “spare the rod, spoil the child,” is also attributed to the Bible. But it’s not. It comes from a satirical poem, Hudibras, by Victorian-era novelist and poet Samuel Butler, and the phrase refers to sex, not parenting. I never spanked my own kids, although my wife and I do like to play spanking with one another. We definitely didn’t engage with any bullshit troubled teen therapy programmes when our eldest had some issues!
