Do you think this dad went too far punishing his son for disrespecting his teacher?

[Wrath of Foamy]

I'm all for learning how to fight and getting some aggression out, but I don't think that it should be used as a form of punishment.

He's also going for the head way too hard.

I would have been buried in the yard for that

Praise in public, discipline in private I was always told.

Recording and posting it is a big red flag....

Scientifically corporeal punishment isn't known to be effective. That's because of a few things.

The first one is that the punishment isn't related to the offense. By that I mean that the child doesn't learn the consequences of their actions. Let's say your kid breaks another kid's toy. A good form of discipline would be to get your kid to reflect on how the other kid must of felt, send them to apologize to the other kid and help them fix the toy. That way your kid gets a deeper understanding of what their mistake was and how to make amends for it. Whopping their ass doesn't make them learn anything, it just makes them resent the parent and avoid them in the future. Meaning the next time they make a mistake they'll be sure to never tell you.

Positive punishment (adding something unpleasant to reduce the frequency of a behaviour) - which is what corporeal punishment is - is also known to be the least effective form of conditioning. Something like negative punishment (removing something pleasant to reduce the frequency of a behaviour) is much more effective. For example putting a child in time out (removing the pleasant stimulus of interacting with others) works very well.

A lot of people mistakenly think that people who are in opposition to corporeal punishment are all bleeding hearts. Nope. It's just not effective. There's no logical argument for it.

A bit on the harsh side in my opinion. He was giving the youngster some solid shots to the head.

 

[Fedorgasm]

I don't necessarily agree with giving the kid CTE, but I am extremely glad to see a father that cares enough to discipline his son.

Look, fathers aren't going to be perfect, and they don't need to be. If they care enough to give you tough love then they are doing their job.

All he has learned is that might makes right.

Then he's learned the most valuable lesson one can learn.

I don't know

The fact that he filmed it doesn't seem great and the fact he's popping hid kid in the head kinda hard is the thing I have the biggest issue with. I also don't know what exactly the kid did. Might be the kid deserves the full on Mike Tyson treatment.

But I did grow up in the hood and I've seen first hand what not having a dad around does to young boys and having a dad you know you are going to have to answer to seems to make a lot of difference in this world. Perhaps getting boxed up might make this kid not act like a little shithead and think about what he's doing before he does it next time.

What happens when hits him and he falls on the barrier?

It's good to see he cares but giving your child CTE isn't worth it.
