In this video I explain why we aren’t to have faith like a child. For more depth on this subject, read the blog: The Bible Say Not to Have Faith Like a Child.

Hal Chaffee 
Hey Hal my name is Hanna Murphy and I have been through well…Hell lately. I feel like I have turned away from God. I Was born and raised in church and turn my life to God when I was 9 yrs old. But now my faith is being tested. I haven’t discussed this with my parents but I am starting to question whether or not God truly loves me. I was molested and sexually abused,my parents are always blaming for everything and my mom and my dad have both told me that it was my fault. Do I get an attitude with them? Yes. I’m old enough to admit that. My grandmother passed and I was crazy about her. She had been sick for months so I am glad she is in a much better place now but I told myself…Jesus didn’t need her. I need her. Will you help out.

Hi Hanna, sorry to hear about troubles. God is faithful and will never let you down. Remember the promise that you will always find Him when you seek Him with all of your heart. Take some time to get alone with God. Get your bible and read through some of the psalms. Psalm 23 is a good one. Ask God for help and examine your own heart. Also, find an older, godly woman that you can chat with. That will help a lot. I’ll be praying for you. God bless.

Hey my name is taylor brown and earlier i was looking at your blog and found an article on spanking. Well i am a single mother of a daughter and she is completely disrespectful…talks back…and curses at us. She learns the cussing from her teachers at her daycare. Bow loke any mother would do i spanked her and i did it on the bare. She screamed to the too of her lungs. Which honestly it was hard for me to 1 do it. I only swatted her once and she was alredy begging me to stop. The sound of her pain ripped my heart strings out. Was this right of me to do because bo we i feel terrible

You did the right thing. She needs to understand that there are real consequences to wrong behavior. Reaffirm your love towards her, but she needs to respect you; spankings are needful.

Okay thanks i just hate giving her spankings because you know she is my baby. I hate having to use physixal force to get her to get her to listen. I explained to her that i will forever love her unconditionally. It hurt me a lot more than it hurt her. Hopefully i got through to her. Growing up, if i got in trouble my dad would bust my butt so hard i wouldnt be able to sit down. I just i was always one to say i was never spanking my kids. If her behavior continues, what should i do guve her abotber spanking?

Sounds like your father went overboard. A few swats with a wooden spoon is a vastly different thing than beating a child till they can’t sit down. I spank all my kids, and they are well behaved, but I’ve never spanked them so hard that they couldn’t sit down. It just needs to sting. No need to go in the other ditch because you experienced one ditch. Stay in the middle of the road. Make sure you continue to ask God for wisdom. God bless.

Yeah. It sucked but i got spanked for failing grades and tried to hide it from him. I dont want my daughter to be afraid to tell me something. After i spanked her i told her i would always love her. I would never in a million years beat her.

I mean i know she hates getting spankings but i always comfort her afterwards unlike my father. I was left to cry alone in my room. No sympathy no nothing. I have told my 4 year old daughter to nevrr doubt my love for her. I would never ever use a razor strap. Ever. It was the worst pain i had ever felt and for me to do to Aubrey what my dad did to me…would you spank your kids for failing grades?

Hey I just talked to my friend Hanna about what I talked to you about and it helped so much. I haven’t gotten the chance to read those verses yet but I definitely will. Thank you for the advice and prayers.

Going back to what taylor said, do you think it is too harsh ti spank a child with a hairbrush abd is it illegal to spank a child out of anger.
LikeLike
It’s not the best idea to spank out of anger, but it’s not illegal. It’s illegal to abuse your children, but spanking properly is not abuse. All it needs to do is sting. It shouldn’t cause bruising. Try it on your own leg to see how it feels and remember that it will hurt a little more for them. A wooden spoon works well for us.

Hey Micheal, I mostly do the spankings because my wife is small and has a hard time with it. She does do it from time to time if she needs to, though. I usually put them over my knee. I take the time first to make sure that they know why they are getting spanked, and then make sure to reassure my love to them after I do it. Make sure to take time to talk to God about help with your parenting, and spend time reading the Word. He loves your kids and wants the best for them. God Bless 🙂

Dont they beg you or try to to run or fight you? My daughter emma tries to run when i tell her that i am going to spank her. She will beg and plead and say “daddy please i’ll be good.” i try to compromise with her but she still fights. She will hold her hands down and cover and will recuse to just take the spanking. I have fought with her tonight when she was going to get a spanking because she was hitting at daycare. She will literally do anything tk not get a spanking. Does this happen with you. If so how do you handle it because my daughter, if she hears the word “spanking” it’s world war 2 again. I tell her of she just lays there, it will be so much easier. She doesn’t listen. Please help me

Yeah, that’s all normal. If you say your going to spank her than you need to do it. If she learns that screaming and fighting and begging gets her out of a spanking, she’ll just keep doing it. I tell my daughter that she can cooperate or get more spankings. You may have to hold her down. You’ll find that if you start spanking her and carry through with it that you’ll have to spank less and less. When they know you’re serious they’ll behave better.
