Short answer: Triple the age of the child. For example: The child is 6 years old. The child would receive 18 swats.

Long answer:

If you tell the child to clean their room for the 1st time, you should tell them HOW to clean their room. For example: Please, put the crayons and the toy cars in the bucket. Make your bed. If they do not comply, then swat them triple their age.

(I would not recommend swatting a child who is under 2 and 1/2 years. )

I would use an implement, like a paddle. Hands are for loving. Children might flinch when you touch them; They think they are going to be hit.

Do NOT try and smack a child that is running away from you. DO NOT give extra swats when they run away. That is a child's natural instinct.

Instead, grab them, drop down to their level and tell them why they are getting a smacking. Put the child over your knee then smack them triple their age, or until they stop struggling.

If a child stops struggling I would stop the smacking even if you are not done giving triple # of swats.

Tell them you love them.

Now tell them to go clean their room, apologize, or etc.

If they do not comply, now give them a smacking again.

Remember: Make expectations appropriate for the child's age. You could not tell a six year old to clean their room everyday and do all their homework without needing to be told or asked.

In my opinion, if you spank your child, no more than three spanks at one time should be used. In addition, you should be calm and talk to the child about the reasons for giving the spanking and ways to avoid it in the future. If you have to spank over and over again in the course of a day, that probably signals that that form of discipline is not working.

Should the tadition of the mother of the child get custody of the child change?

That tradition has changed over the years. The basis for custody should be determined by many factors, such as ability to care for the child, prior history of the parent's as regards criminal activity, drugs, alcohol, etc. Many courts now give joint custody, with split placement between the 2 parents on an alternating basis.

If paying child support should my child have my last name She has her mother's name now. We were never married.?

Child support has nothing to do with the child's name. Just because you pay support, the mother is not obligated to give the child your last name. Many people feel that the child will be more comfortable having the same last name as the custodial parent.


Why cant the man decide if he wants an unborn child but the mother can?

Legally, since the woman is the one to carry the child and give birth, it is her decision and only hers whether or not to have the child. The courts have supported this many times. Morally, however, it should be a decision made by both parents. The position of the mother should not have precedence over that of the father.
