The Question: How To Discipline

SPEAKER_00 0:26

first I want to give a shout out to all my listeners. Whether you at home, at work, in your car, all the truck drivers on the road, I appreciate you tuning in. Listen, we got another great show for you, and you already know what it is. I'm gonna jump right into it. Today's show is about how do you discipline your kids, right? When I was growing up, a lot of parents used to whip their kids' ass immediately. Matter of fact, the neighbors might be whipping your ass. So today, do you believe in that now? You know, society changed a little bit. Do people still believe in disciplining your kids that way? Right?

What Spankings Do To Kids

SPEAKER_00 1:02

I don't, you know what I'm saying? I don't know if it was right, if it was wrong, but that's how it was back then. And then again, now let's talk about. So if you do discipline your kids like that, how do you think it affects them? Some people, you know, might go, Oh yeah, man, I you know, when it when I used to get disciplined like that, or if I got beaten, man, I turned out good from that. Who knows? Did you really? Or are you just dealing with it? You never know because some people deal with it different ways. Some kids could be traumatized. Listen, I was traumatized looking at some kids get their ass whipped. Truthfully, it's like, come on, man, you know, it's a little bit overboard. You you getting beat with all types of shit, hangers, extension cords, all anything, racetrack, anything you can pick up, kids was getting beat with. Now, do you think about different ways to discipline your kids? This is me just posing a question. This is my

Why Toddlers Don’t Know Better

opinion. I don't know. I want to know what people think about that. How do you discipline your kids, right? Because me, I look at it, you know, both ways, right? Some badass kids need their ass whipped, and I'm not talking about babies. See, this is the thing. When kids is little, little big two, three years old, they don't know no better. And what kills me is when you see a parent telling a two-year-old, you know better than that. No, the fuck they don't. Why would they? They two years old, they still experimenting with the environment, right? So, how can you beat a two-year-old? Now, I can see if you go, and stop, don't do that. You make a noise to a two-year-old and they're gonna stop moving. So, why would anybody spank a two-year-old or anything of three, four, five years? It's just to me, that doesn't make no sense. Now, when your kids are about nine, eight, not ten years old, and they still acting like they don't got no sense, then it's either you're not raising them, right? Or you just got a badass kid that might need their ass whipped. It's just

When Love Gets Mixed With Violence

it is what it is, but then again, like I said, let's talk about the flip side of it. So if you're disciplining your kid like that, like you're you're putting hands on them, you're beating them to do the right thing. So you're gonna beat them, right? Tell them this is what you need to be doing, right? And then after that, you're gonna tell them you love them. So, what are you training your kid to do? Let's say, let's say with young men. Now, this don't happen to everybody. I'm just, you know, I'm just giving my opinion on it. So say a young man went through this when he was young, his mother beating him, or his father beat him, and after he beat him, he tell him he loves him, goes and you know, whatever. You know, he takes care of him, he loves him, but then he put hands on him. So when that young man gets older, do we do the same thing to somebody he loves when they don't listen or they have a disagreement or they don't do what they he wants them to do? What are he gonna do? Is he gonna beat them and then go, I love you? So now me putting hands on you is showing is me showing you how much I care about you, right? Come on, and this is real talk now. Now, this happens to a lot of people. I'm not saying all of them, but when you put hands on your kids, you you actually showing them that yo, when you use physical aggression towards somebody, you can make them listen to you, and guess what? You're actually showing them that you love them by doing that, so it can be two sides to this coin. Me, listen, this is my opinion. I'm talking my shit. This is what I do. I just want

Discipline Without Laying Hands

SPEAKER_00 4:42

opinions out there and how people really feel about this. And I can tell you like this a lot of parents don't have to put hands on their kids, a lot of parents can just look at their child, and that child is gonna do what they want them to do. It's a certain look. Some people possess it, some people don't, right? Me personally, I possess it. So I I can, you know, I can look at my kids, yo, don't do that. They already know what it is. I don't have to, you know, do no physical aggression to a child to get them to do what I need them to do, right? That's just me. Some people can do that, and some people just result, you know, to being physical because maybe that's how they was raised, and that's all they know how to do. But again, to each his own, you know, I'm not here to tell nobody how to raise their kids, definitely not, but I just wanted to see how people feel about that situation, right? And like I said, young men can grow up thinking, hey, you put hands on somebody because you love them and you want them to listen to you. Some young ladies might think, hey, he putting hands on if they got you know discipline like this when they was younger, they might think, hey, when a man put hands on me, that means he loves me and he cares about me. I don't know, man. It you know, it's traumatizing, people deal

with it in different ways, and it can have psychological effects on you. But again, to each his own, you already know what it is. This is big slick. I'm just talking my shit.
