Besides, it's not like one of our parents will be on his tail at all times. You don't have to be a parent to correct a family member. NO, not just my opinion, one that has been taught to me from people better educated than I to understand such matters, ask any physiologist, though perhaps it may be different in Chinese culture. I learned that siblings need don't need parental responsibilities, nor do younger sibling need to see their older siblings as anything other than someone to look up to and guide them. This does not entail physical discipline, verbal reprimand is one thing, physical another....	SolMiester (139)

This does not entail physical discipline, verbal reprimand is one thing, physical another.... It's not really discipline. I smack him on the head for pissing me off by his stupid behaviour. That smack also tells him what he did is not the right thing to do. I don't call that parental responsibility. It's just an older brother's way of telling a younger brother what's right and wrong. And I don't see why I shouldn't do that. For example, if you had a little brother playing with matches, do you just ignore it? I mean, by your definition parental responsibility would involve disciplining him when playing with matches.	qazwsxokmijn (102)

And that includes correcting them for whatever mistake they did. It's just an excuse for me to whack him for pissing me off. :D I don't do it violently, of course. Just the usual brotherly violence.	qazwsxokmijn (102)

But what I see these days is that "Parents" seem to be producing offspring at an earlier age. We, as a community, seem to now accept this. If a Parent smacks his/her offspring one would think that the Parent is bigger and therefore can hit the child. I might add that schools in general do not teach life skills like parenting or even cooking or gardening for example. This sort of thing is not new. I remember back in the early '70s finding children as young as 10 on Queen St in Auckland at 2 or 3 in the morning. I would wonder if they were lost and so I would stop and ask if they had enough money to get home. One reply I got was that Mum and Dad gave me $xxx and told me to get lost. Later I was residing in Australia and whilst I was a Scout Leader there were a couple there in the troop that were sent to Scouts as a form of baby sitting. I make no apology for having been a Scout Leader at all. Just put that in so no member here jumps to the conclusion that I am a paedophile. So what method do you use to hand out discipline and does it actually work?	Sweep (90)
759746	2009-04-02 00:31:00	We learnt gardening at Ngatimoti primary school, not sure if they still do it. We had our own plots and a competition who could grow the biggest veges.

So what method do you use to hand out discipline and does it actually work? Yes, parent are getting younger, that doesnt mean I accept it, it means alot of other things to me I am not prepared to talk about right now . A parent is usually bigger than a child, however you use the term 'hit', I use smack, and I fail to see what that has to do with older siblings smacking younger siblings other than they are usually bigger . I guess you are being either sarcastic or obtuse . I dont think the matter humorous at all . I agree, schools dont teach parenting skill to our detriment if you ask me . With todays society of kids producing kids, I feel many skills are not being handed down as these kiddie mothers are mostly too immature to to look after themselves let alone understand complex parenting skills usually garnered by older parents in their 30's To discipline my children . . . well, like most 40 somethings, I grow up with the smack and tend to use the same myself, however this is usually the last resort after verbal warning fails . In most cases, a smack is no longer needed, as the thread does the job . I am not sure if you understand where I am coming from sweep . You could ask any teenager social welfare development officer about siblings taking on parental duties and I am sure, not positive, you will get the same answer as i stated before, as that is the lecture I took .

It was you that used the term, "hit" rather than me. And I am not trying to humour you.	Sweep (90)

By the smack he knows what he did I didn't approve of. Call that whatever you want, but that's my way of telling him he just made a mistake. I'm just doing what my parents would do, MY way (ie, my parents would scold at him, I would smack him). You're probably right I have no idea about parental discipline, other than knowing that I've been raised by it.	qazwsxokmijn (102)
