There is not doubt that times have changed from when we were growing up. Most of us have MANY stories that we laugh about now of crazy whoopins we got growing up. However, those same practices today that seemed to do us so good, can now land you in jail and negatively impact your career.
When does discipline become child abuse? Is it suggestive? Does the Army define it differently than the State you live in? Where is the line and is the line different in everyone's opinion?
How do you educate your Soldier's on what the Army considers properly disciplining your children and not mistakenly or unknowingly committing child abuse?
Are you completely against physical discipline?

My approach: Whenever I hear of a kid ANYWHERE doing something wrong, I hold a family stand down day and provide my daughter with the same PowerPoint presentations as the last time a kid somewhere did something wrong. I am pretty sure this is a solid approach to behavior modification.

I think you can be brought up on charges for excessive PowerPoint exposure. I mean you have to draw the line somewhere. Have a heart.

Our daughter is 14 years old. The best way to meaningfully discipline her is to take stuff away - cell phone is a big one, not having friends over is also good. Grounding would be a close second, but I voted Taking Privileges, SSG Robert Burns.

With my 3 year old we use a mixture of Spanking, time out and and taking away her shows.

Agreed; we do the same with our 3 year old son. That and a look with his name. He's often harder on himself than we are.
