It is up to the parent to decide how they choose to discipline their child. We do not know what all measures a parent has taken to discipline their child, and it is not our place to tell another parent how to parent their child. What works for my child may not work for someone else child. Each child is different and you have to find the right method that works for each individual child. All I can say is that God blessed me with an awesome child, whom I taught how to behave at as a small child and she is still well behaved as a teen. Therefore I have not had to use the methods that some of these social media parents have had to resort to. If it takes shaming the child on social media to get them to start acting right, then so be it. If it takes hugs and kisses and trips to the candy store to get them to start acting right, then so be it. There is not specific manual on how to discipline your child; however, the bible says in Proverbs 13:24 "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes."

I never had to once spank my kids (who are now both grown) I did however “threaten” to do so but I never did. They are now both law abiding individuals. My son served two tours in Iraq during the “Bin Laden” era & one tour in Afghanistan. My daughter is working on getting her Masters. However, as a child my mom spanked all six of us, the oldest three gave her hell & the last three we were more mellowed out. There is no “right” way to discipline your kids, to each his own just don’t be beating, abusing or calling your kids every cuss word under the sun. What worked for mine, may not work for yours however, I think shaming your kid on social media needs to stop. IJS – that’s my own personal opinion.
