Okay so check it. I was reluctant to post this, but these words have been in my soul all night! To aaaallll you folks out there talking about the Baltimore mom "saving" her son's life... JUST STOP IT! Come on! Really??? When firefighters take someone from a burning building, do they smack up the victim? When a life guard sees a child drowning, do they jump into the water and start punching the victim before they get to shore? NO!!! You all are intelligent. You know what

Criticizing parents who hit their children can be a week long discussion. In the recent case of the woman who hit her son, when she caught him protesting in Baltimore, many folks had a ton to say about that mother, both for and against her. Well guess what. There's stuff brewing in her world from when she was young too. She was once a child and more than likely displayed what she knew the other day, from what happened to her. Now that is absolutely no excuse for her beha

Most folks know Elizabeth Rohm for her acting in Law and Order. Now, I know her because she is a non-compromising, anti-spanking mom! Yaaaaaassss! What strikes me most about the article you'll read if you click her picture, is that a dude could not even occupy her future space if he believed in spanking a child. LOVE THAT!!! Those of us that think this way have to be unapologetic about this. We are talking about rearing people that will not just inhabit the earth, they ar

YES YES YES and MORE YYAAAAASSS!!! Our First Lady Michelle Obama and our President Barack Obama said it clear as day! "WE DON'T SPANK," they said. "You don't have to," Barack Obama said. Michelle said her father just told her he was disappointed in her, and the tears would come streaming down. WHEN... YOU... DON'T... HIT... CHILDREN... THEY... CAN...MAKE... SENSE... OF...THEIR... LIVES... AND... REEEEEEAAALLLYY...TRUST...YOU... AS...THEIR... PARENT. If I have a conversat

Chris Carter has these brothers stunned!!! He gave em' straight church up in here! I know you probably saw this reaction to Adrian Peterson hitting his son, but you just have to watch it again. I don't even want to say much. I just want to keep watching this clip. The main power I get from what Chris Carter said and how he said it, is that we absolutely must stop being apologetic about discussing the wrongs of corporal punishment. It was and IS debilitating. It dumbs ou

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh Malik Yoba is against hitting his children! Maaaaannn...when you click on his name and read that article you gon see why! See...no matter what a person may grow up to be...those mental and spiritual wounds are still open. Thank goodness for those who choose to act differently with their own children, because violence was used to "discipline" them. The big tragedy becomes when a person mimics what they experienced as childen. Uuuuhhhh can you say Adrian Pete

Now I am not a big Dr. Phil viewer, but I have to give props where props are due. He laid it out calm and simple for these parents. What spanking, hitting, popping or any type of corporal punishment, does to a child, goes beyond just fear. Adults that spank are usually not aware of how they are affecting their children physiologically. Folks want to be mad when the grades in school aren't making it, but they are not taking responsibility for how hitting their child affects

Oooooooohhhh did my girl Jada have it on point when she said, "Prepare your children in the way where they can have ANYTHING!" Many of us were raised to bellieve, and were actually told, "You can't have everything you want in life. You gotta struggle hard to achieve... blah blah blah." It's like being set up to fail from the giddy up. That viewpoint is soooo fear-based. Preparing children to lose, instead of preparing them to win, creates a person who ends up doing just that.

I can't believe people actually justify beating children, because they think it's in the Bible! Spirituality is calm and endearing, Why would a spiritual book instruct one on how to bring pain to a child? So...you know people debate me aaaaallll the time telling me that God said in the Bible that we can beat kids, right? Well here are my comebacks: 1) "Spare the rod, spoil the child?" WHO WROTE THAT? Jesus didn't write that. God did not write that. I know, It's in Prov

Now you knooooooowww I have a serious problem with this! I know this clip is not new, but it warrants a response because it is still circulating and potentially influencing other people. There is a reason behind a child misbehaving in school. Punishing or torturing him or her does NOTHING to solve the problem. The behavior by the mom in this video is chipping away at the spirit of this child so strongly! His lying is fear based and she is reinforcing his fears and poten
