Us Weekly features The Hills' Stephanie Pratt and her struggle with bulimia on its latest cover. (And, no Jon & Kate on this week's cover.) Back to Stephanie.

Spanking is not a bad thing. As a parent, I have spanked my daughters a total of three or four times. Just the threat, spoken or unspoken was enough to keep our children in line. I think most rational people know that their is a difference between spanking and hitting. My question is, Is threatening to give a spanking just as bad as actually spanking?
Good to know all you care about is keeping your children in line to make life easier for you, as opposed to actually giving your children the tools to deal with the issues which make them act out in the first place. My parents never ever spanked me and my sisters. They would sit us down and make us talk out our problems and feelings and then discuss how to deal with them, and they would talk to us about how to be respectful and better behaved.
But hey, that's hard and takes up your time, whereas spanking is easy and only takes two seconds!
Also what a great lesson to teach kids: if someone smaller and weaker than you is causing problems, the best way to deal with it is physical force!
I don't think spanking is child abuse, but I think it is the best sign of lazy parenting out there. Not to mention that I am a medical anthropologist, and every study ever done on the subject shows that kids who are spanked are more aggressive towards other and more likely to have behavioral problems with OTHER people. Sure they behave well around their parents- they are afraid they will get spanked- but then they are taught aggression as a viable solution to problems, and take that aggression out on others. Bullies are FAR more likely to have been spanked than not spanked.
I was spanked and I spanked mine, my husband child was not spanked or dicipline and now he lives with us and it is HELL.. I have started smoking I have lost weight I went from 138 to 115 I wish I could put his A"" out of my house and now that I found out just now that he had someone in my house last week he has now taken the power from my husband that he once had and when I get home I will tell my husband I want him OUT of my house TODAY so send him back where dicipline and consequesie were never inforced.
Yikes! You sound like you're at the end of your rope. Take a few minutes and calm down. It's not going to help anything to get all worked up. Peace!
There is a huge difference between not being spanked and not beind disciplined. Spanked children are MORE likely to have behavioral problems, not less. All spanking does is stop the child from acting out IN THE MOMENT- it does NOTHING to correct behavior long term, and in fact just makes children more aggressive.
Not disciplining your children is of course a bad thing and will lead to spoiled rotten children. But you don't have to spank to discipline. My parents were what I would consider quite strict, my sisters and I all grew up to be well behaved, polite, and respectful, and they never laid a finger on us.
I definitely notice, even as an adult, the difference between people who were spanked and those who weren't. Those who were spanked are frankly, less patient and much angrier people (like you, for instance!), who are much quicker to anger than those of us who instead were taught by patient parents how to deal with our emotions and problems with a method other than violence.
This is truly what America has been reduced to.
A child should never be hit no matter what!!! I don't care 'how well you turned out' because you were hit. If she were hitting another adult it would be assault. It is not to be used as a last resort. Effective parenting involves not hitting a child. Also, to be hit in public and the shame it instills. I know my Dad used to come up behind me and 'spank' me and it was the ultimate humiliation. I can remember every time he hit me. Kate obviously with all the money, resources and nannies doesn't have the proper parenting skills or patience. In the one photo Leah's dress is pulled up and showing her underwear by Kate and Leah is trying to protect herself - that was a painful picture to see and think Kate this will be an image that won't go away. How dare you hit your child and shame on you!
If Kate Gosselin had been photographed doing the same thing to the two dogs - would you all still be saying "spanking doesn't hurt kids"??? PUH-LEZE!!!!!!!!!! PETA and the ASPCA would like white on rice about it!!! There is no difference - except that it is captured forever on camera.
Is it any surprise that her kids are acting out? Their father left, their mother is more interested in her own 15 minutes of fame and there are camera crews following them constantly. They are being ill-served by the adults in their lives.
And TLC and all the corporations advertising on the show are complicit.
I know that a lot of people think it is okay to hit a child. It is NOT. It takes patience and discipline to be an effective parent. Did I ever spank my children--yes. Am I sorry for that--ABSOLUTELY. I was wrong.
Kate will gain a lot of respect if she admits that it is not acceptable to strike a child. We all make mistakes--none of us is perfect.
And, you are the authority? Why? It is okay to discipline your child with a spanking.
“Any child development expert will tell you that spanking is not a good form of discipline. The reason being is that you are your child’s role model. So, if you act out with physical force when you’re feeling frustrated, how can you expect your child to behave when they’re feeling frustrated?”

YES. It's from TLC's own website.
spanking is abusive, whether it is that reverse-mulleted gosselin woman doing it, or anyone else. read the literature. spanking causes children to be aggressive, antisocial, and worse. she must be really proud to see those pictures of herself in action, looming over that tiny child like that. and the little girl's face says it all. a cruel and shameful way to treat a little child.
Agreed. There is a difference between discipline and spanking.
Substitute the word "hitting" for "spanking" and it doesn't sound so innocent. "Spank" is just a nice way of saying "hit!"
A lot of people read Doctor Spock too, just to find out he was not always right. Literature, or not, there are a lot of people who would be more aggressive , anti social and worse, if they had not been stopped by a parent that spanked them. I did not have mean parents. They were the best, and always there for me. I got a few spankings along the way, and because of it, I had more respect for what they said, and how I behaved. I could have been a child who got in a lot of trouble as a lot of teenagers do, but not only did I not belive in certain things, but I did not want to cause my parents any suffering, or be ashamed of my own behaviour.. I also had a strong faith, thanks to my parents. So, nobody is going to tell me simple spanking will do such horrible things to children. Usually there are more than spanking going on. There is REAL abuse, such as actual beatings, and verbal battering. So don't say no spankings for any child. You have to know the child and you have to know if it will do any good, and you cannot go overboard and beat them, but common sense would tell a person that. If a parent cannot control THEMSELVES, then no, they should not spank.
love RPatz, they need to have him on every magazine cover!!
OME!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at the cool Twilight scrapbooking pages at http://scrapbookingtales.mybisi.com
Perez Hilton got it right...Chace Crawford does have Ghey face and IS GHEY!.... how hilarious...
You misspelled "geigh."
Wish i had a dollar everytime I got spanked!
Me too, and I deserved it every time. Everyone will be completely happy when she is destroyed and her kids are taken. The media wants this to happen so they can sell magazines and the folks fall right in line and signing up for the hate mob.
?People are worried about the kids!
I don't want her kids taken away or her family destroyed but never ever hit a child. I am sorry you were hit and no you didn't deserve it.
Did you ever get spanked in front of camera crews so that your punishment would be displayed on magazine covers?
Sorry, I don't care what your opinion on spanking is, doing it so that the whole world can see it is just cruel. That child is going to be messed up for life.
Messed up for life because she was hit when the cameras were rolling? Pulleeeze.
In this messed up society/country/world she will be lucky to have a life to get messed up... unless we do something about killing our planet, spanking will be the least of our problems.
Probably 50 % of the population got "spanked" and grew up fine.
Agreed. So sad.
