One story could be that a boy was caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar. His mom, in an old - fashioned way, gave him a spanking. She then sat him down and explained why stealing was wrong, not just because it was against the rules but also because it was unethical. After that, the boy learned his lesson and never stole again.
Yes, they are relatively common in some cultures or families. In the past, spanking was more accepted as a form of discipline. Moms might spank their children when they misbehaved, like when they lied or were disrespectful. However, nowadays, many people are against this form of punishment as it can have negative impacts on a child's mental health.
In some Asian cultures too, like in parts of India, there might be instances of moms spanking their kids. However, it is often within the context of a larger family and cultural value system that emphasizes respect for elders and following rules. But at the same time, modernization has led to a decrease in such practices as more people are opting for non - physical forms of discipline.
I knew a family where the son stole some money from his mom's purse to buy candies. His mom, when she discovered this, was extremely angry. She gave him a hard spanking while telling him how stealing is wrong and that he should have asked if he wanted something instead of taking it without permission.
One story I heard was that a boy kept lying about doing his homework. His mom warned him several times but he didn't listen. Finally, she gave him a spanking. After that, he realized his mistake and started to be honest about his schoolwork.
Well, I once heard a story where a boy was caught stealing cookies from the jar. His mom spanked him gently on the bottom and then talked to him about honesty. It was more of a disciplinary action mixed with teaching a lesson.
In the stories, one effect is that it makes the child immediately aware of their wrong behavior. For example, like the boy who lied about homework, the spanking was a shock that made him see he couldn't keep getting away with it.
It's really rare. Children usually don't like the idea of being spanked, so asking for it is quite out of the ordinary. However, in some very strict or religious families where discipline is highly emphasized, it might be more likely to happen, but still not common.
Yes, they are somewhat common. In many traditional families, spanking has been seen as a form of discipline. Moms, in particular, may use spanking when they feel other methods haven't worked. For example, if a child is constantly misbehaving at school, the mom might spank as a way to show that such behavior is unacceptable.
