I might not be the best teacher
-
2017-07-19 at 4:27 AM UTCBut it does feel pretty awesome teaching my son about science and physics. We just watched Interstellar together, so I took that opportunity to teach him about gravity and relativity and Newton's laws of motion.
I know those things are a bit much for a seven year-old to really understand, but he's interested and that was my goal. He didn't stop asking questions until he finally fell asleep, and that's my favorite feel as a parent; sparking a little wonder and opening his eyes just a little bit every day about the nature of the universe.
Feels good, man. -

I can't disagree here.
I'm genuinely on the verge of producing a child exclusively for this deep-seeded understanding that strict, severe, and frequent physical beat-downs and lashings of your offspring are what this earth of ours was designed to support.
It is the single guaranteed way to assure your child grows up happy and successful, and far and away the least selfish form of reproduction and child rearing. -

Would you be interesting in kickstarting my new project? It is an automatic child beater do you can beat your child on a controlled schedule, personalized by a specialist. -

I'm sure it works with some kids, but he just isn't one of them.
I am joking, I actually think a parent should basically never hit a child, the only time it is acceptable is if you need to gain instant compliance.
Teaching kids works best if you approach it from an avenue of interest. -

Lol, yeah. We talked a lot about black holes. I had to explain to him why writers do things like that in movies like this. -

Nigga, sarcasm is my second language.
But, yeah, I agree. Spanking is a last resort for me. My mom explained it best, I think. You can break a child like you break a horse, but they won't be the same ever again. I don't have the heart to take his will from him. Life is tough. He's going to need it.
Originally posted by Sophie All in all it was a really good movie.
One of my favorites. Sure, it's not scientifically correct at all times, but it wouldn't be as fun to watch if it didn't make you wonder about what is and isn't possible. To me, that's what makes the best sci-fi stories so great. -

what style of beatings is most effective to modify the behaviour of a child? I'm partial to combat sambo but I've been told greco-roman-style wrestling instills extra fear. The downside is of course that a child is much smaller than an average adult and once naked and oiled up, he may be very difficult to catch. -
2017-07-19 at 5:59 AM UTCI've also been recommended Aikido as it's 'gentle' and less likely to permanently injure a child, but given that the only prominent practitioner appears to be Steven Seagal I'm not sure how useful it is outside of sexual molestation.

The infamous "switch."
Not big enough to cause injury, but painful enough to get the point across. Belts work alright, but if you have a squirmer, then you could miss the ass and hit the back which wouldn't be good. -

I am a firm believer in keeping your beatings simple. At first, one only needs to lightly roundhouse kick a child so that they fall hard. Eventually, they will try to dodge this, as they are small, by ducking. At this point, you need to keep swinging with your roundhouse kick, and come around a second time with a leg sweep. Proper technique is demonstrated here:
If you child adapts to this, you now move into a third kick to their midsection after the sweep.
The upside to this is, if the child's teachers or friends' parents notice any injuries, you can rightly say the child just keeps falling down. -
