I’m doing a research paper on discipline so I just want to see if anybody has some honest answers for me that I might be able to use for my paper. And also were you emotionally, verbally, sexually, or physically abused as a child?

I was spanked with a wooden spoon as a child as was my brother. My mother was frequently irrational and never explained to me why I was being disciplined. I had a happy childhood all things considered but I make sure that I explain to my daughter (even though she’s only 2) WHY what she did was bad when she gets in trouble. I believe it’s important for kids to know the why behind things or else they really don’t listen. I also still hate the saying “Because I said so!” and I will never use it with my daughter.

Yes to the emotionally, verbally and physically abused as a child ( by my father ). He successfully taught me how not to raise children and I haven’t spoken to him (unless I ran into him somewhere on accident [rarely]) since I was 18.. that was 4 years ago.
My mother was always there for me, and albeit had some strange ways of running the show when she was around, and she can be a little dense sometimes, but I love her lots and we have a great relationship.
