to Good Homes None of these paddles are perfect. Neither are we! |

We have all seen, or perhaps even done it ourselves, a parent grabbing their child in the process of doing something wrong and spanking them in anger. Stopping the behavior is of course the important thing to do. Punishing them immediately is not as important as making them understand what they did wrong. Fair punishment at a later time helps them understand how important it is to you that they change that behavior and allows them time to think about it. To help your child understand that you love them and that the spanking is because of their behavior, have the child fill out an appointment form such as the one on the left. It is important that the child writes down the behavior that needs to be changed. |

Calibrating
your paddle:
Before applying paddle to a child you should determine the force of your swing.
There is only one way to measure effectively - swat
yourself on the rump and adjust your swing appropriately.
For
maximum effect:
Have the child tell you the reason they
are being punished.
Parent should wait one minute between each
swat.
Apply no more than 5 swats per day.
Spank only on the rump.
Child must be wearing clothes.
Use force sufficient only to get the child's
attention.
Support child's torso so no stress can be
placed on their spine.
After
punishment is served:
Give your child
a hug and tell them that you love them! The punishment was for their
behavior only.
