spanking to potty train a child

Yes, you'rer reading that title well: spanking to potty train a child.

I blogged about a something I found on internet.

A child was exposed on internet, on the potty, and the mother blogged about spanking to get her child develop to a potty trained little boy.

Because we had to bring in a case to the course of developmental psychology I took the subject and put in forced potty training as a case study.

Is it good to force a child into a developmental stage in which development is directed by physical development and sensitivity to bodily triggers?

The subject was welcomed in different ways, but all positive.

We discussed the subject from our experiences, which was very interesting.
Some didn't remember anything from that time, other remembered the gift they got in the end and some the terrible experience when they had an accident some years later.

All in all, it's the reaction of the parent that makes an emotional difference that can be of importance through life.

The teacher thought the subject interesting enough to plan it again for next week, and he wants to invite the professor in to give more theoretical background.

When I started it all: "inspired by a blog", they laughed about me, but when my fellow students behaved quite different.

No, it is not! It is despicable and has long-lasting psychological consequences.

Great post.

As a child abuse social worker, I can't even tell you how many children I've seen who have been abused due to unrealistic expectations in potty training. It's very sad for the children.

I've seen photos like that on the internet and a different thought has crossed my mind: why would you display such poor judgment as to post a photo of your child on the potty for anyone to see?
