Definitely not. In today's society, there are better ways to discipline a child such as positive reinforcement, setting clear rules through communication, and time - outs. The act of spanking while the mom is distracted by stories shows a lack of proper parenting and a disregard for the boy's rights to be treated with respect and kindness.
It's illegal. The boy is under the protection of his family, especially his parents. The neighbor's act of spanking is an intrusion into the family's rights and can be considered a form of abuse or at least an improper behavior that violates the boy's rights.
She should immediately stop the disciplinarian. A mother has the primary responsibility to protect her child. She can then have a conversation with the disciplinarian about appropriate ways to discipline without using physical force.
One story could be that the mom hires a disciplinarian because her kids are constantly misbehaving at school. The disciplinarian comes in and sets strict rules like no TV until homework is done and early bedtimes. The kids initially rebel but then start to see the positive results as their grades improve.
No, it's not ethical. Spanking is a form of physical punishment that can cause harm, both physically and psychologically. A neighbor doesn't have the same emotional bond as a parent, and there are laws in many places protecting children from non - parental physical abuse. Also, it's the parent's responsibility to discipline their own child in a non - violent way.
Definitely not. Parents are usually in a position of authority and caregiving. A son spanking his mom goes against the normal family hierarchy and basic moral principles of respect and non - violence within a family unit.
It is not ethical. Teachers should be role models of positive behavior. In fanfic or not, the idea of a female teacher spanking a boy can send wrong messages about appropriate behavior in schools. It may also be seen as a form of abuse, even in a fictional story.
A common theme is the need for change. The mom realizes that her normal parenting methods aren't working and so she turns to a disciplinarian. Another theme is the resistance from the children at first. They are used to their old ways and don't like the new strict rules.
It is generally not appropriate. Spanking in front of others, especially of the opposite gender at a young age, can be humiliating and have a negative impact on the boy's self - esteem. In a proper story context, such a situation should be avoided to promote healthy psychological development of children.
It is not appropriate. Using spanking as a punishment for a boy peeping on girls does not really solve the root problem. The act of peeping is about a lack of understanding of privacy and appropriate behavior. Instead of spanking, parents or guardians should guide the boy. They can start by explaining why peeping is wrong, for example, it makes the girls feel uncomfortable and violated. Then, they can educate the boy on how to respect others' personal space and privacy in a positive and non - violent way.
In some stories, the husband may be conflicted. On one hand, he doesn't want to undermine his wife's authority, but on the other hand, he may not fully agree with spanking. So he might wait until after the incident and have a calm discussion with his wife about their parenting styles and how they can be more consistent and positive in disciplining their son.
