Candace Cameron-Bure Is Not Afraid to Discipline

Spanking may be considered a no-no to some, but in our house it's how we teach that no means NO!

I'm not afraid to admit it: We do spank our children. We get much of our parenting information from the Bible—that's my heart source. There are several passages that refer to disciplining your child.

We only spank on the bottom; and we don't EVER spank out of anger. NEVER! This is also done privately, as to not embarrass them in front of others. I talk to my children honestly about their offense, what went wrong, what they did or didn't do, then they get a spanking, we hug and pray together. It's most effective when the kids are younger. As they get older we get creative in making the punishment fit the crime. For me, spanking is an immediate a way to teach them the difference between right and wrong and when no means NO!

I know it can be controversial, but I also know that when it's done in love, and when it's done with prayer ... and NEVER in anger, it's a biblical and valuable way of teaching your children.

Besides being a mom, you might also know Candace as D.J. Tanner from the TV show Full House.

What else is on Candace Cameron-Bure's mind?

Report Abuse 		Do you hit your spouse too to teach him when he's done something wrong? Or maybe he does that to you? Children are the only group in society it is still legal to physically strike. And they are the most vulnerable too. Very sad that you would promote this. Discipline should teach, not punish. Hitting your children doesn't just teach them "no", it teaches them not to do something because they are are afraid you will hit them.

Report Abuse 		I Agree with Candace cameron Bure don't be afraid to discipline children if they need a spanking or a swat on bottom and that the only thing that works than do it but only with your hand. I never use a wooden paddle or belt on a kid so I know how hard am spanking them!
