Is there really a right and a wrong way to raise your child?
I'm 17 weeks pregnant with a baby boy and I have some concerns... I see people saying... It's abusive to spank your kids."I only had to talk to my child and that's how it SHOULD be done!" You shouldn't revoke privileges from them because it will just upset them even more. "Just explain why what they did is wrong. Children have feelings too."It's abusive to force your child to go hungry if they refuse dinner. Doesn't even matter if they are well fed just in general. "Why can't you just ask your child what they want instead of being toxic and forcing your child to starve?"
So I'm at a lost here. How is anyone "supposed" to raise their own children?

Make them good people. That's about it. If they are good people then you raised them right. Whether that's with spanking or not, if you teach them empathy then that's all you can ask for. I didn't teach my kids table manners (I was never taught myself) but if they see another child getting bullied, they are the first ones there defending the child being bullied and I'm extremely proud of that.
Begin by evaluating how you were raised. Ask yourself if the methods used to teach you right from wrong were useful or not. Most adult’s mimic their own upbringing when it comes to raising their children without asking themselves legitimate questions about how they themselves turned out.
Ever since spanking was stopped, kids have gotten worse every year. In those days we had no drug crisis, no gun crisis, no disrespect of adults, teachers, and cops no mass shootings, and no perpetual rioting. Compare that to TODAY and the answer is obvious. Children were made to go to CHURCH. Every family had a FATHER in the home that provided discipline and respect.
Great question. No one has cornered the market on how to raise children, thus no one can say there way is better then yours. Oh, but in their conceit, they will try. Just shrug it off when they do.
There is no right or wrong way to do it. One wrong way is tellijg your kid to commit felonies...bad parenting. My nephew is an angel...around strangers. However i had known him since he was younger and he used to be like a tiny demon. Reinforcement was the only thing that worked. Reward good behaviour, punish poor behaviour
