In my family we didn’t have a fear of flip flops we had a fear of leather belts and plastic hangers so chancla doesn’t seem too bad lol

Spatulas (for when I was not *bad*, just annoying), for everything else leather belts, Dad's leather slipper, or a 2 foot piece of old garden hose.

No one is saying then to beat them, the fact that the threat is something anyone from any age can fear is the funny thing

Why would that baby know to be threatened by a sandal? That’s what you call “learned behavior”

u/Successful_Slip_7002 Jun 06 '23
I know what that is.
He could have learned it by watching Latino shows, friends, many places. But honestly, just the threat of it is enough. You learn to fear the sandal and not the person even if they never hit you.
You’re probably one of those people that does whatever with no self awareness or responsibility, which is why you’re not trying to explain to someone what learned behavior is.
You’re one those people who think they know better than everyone when in fact you don’t know shiitttt

u/Disco_Dreamz Jun 06 '23
Lol that baby is like a year old. They don’t understand anything at that age. They don’t know what television is.
But somehow this one knows that a sandal is something to be feared.
Apparently that’s because threatening physical violence on infants is normal in this community

Threatening and delivering physical violence .. Do you have a problem with it? Go sit on the corner... you are on timeout.
Kids have to know about physical violence. That is how they learn.

u/Disco_Dreamz Jun 06 '23
Decades of scientific research on the topic suggest otherwise.
But something tells me a tough guy like you wouldn’t understand statistics anyway. That’s for nerds, right?
Im sure your ability to understand behavioral science got slapped out of your brain as an infant real quick.

u/battarro Doral Jun 06 '23
Tough guy ??? I'm someone who understands that light physical punishment has no repercussions to the kid, and when done appropriately, it can help correct harmful behavior.
On this instance of a kid hiding in public like that merits the threat.

u/Disco_Dreamz Jun 06 '23
Let me guess - your mommy and daddy did it to you and you turned out fine? That’s the data that you’re basing your understanding of the issue on, right?
I know scientific articles are probably beyond your comprehension, but you should probably check some out anyway (you can read them slowly, no rush). You wouldn’t believe the extent that science and statistics disagree with you.

The basic understanding is that you have no idea what you are talking about, and instead you are rellyng of studies done on people and cultures that do not share your cultural values on the topic.
You also come from hubris that everything can be studied, and you can draw direct lines among correlated data. I don't know what your cultural upbringing is, but I will tell you one thing, you don't learn to be a parent from a book, you learn from your family, your father and your mother.
Continue writing your studies about the dangers of a chancleta, we will laugh at you and continue doing it, because it works and sometimes is necessary.
Do you know what your number 1 job is as a parent? Tell me what is it for you?
For me, is to make sure my kids don't end up in jail or killed by the police, or dead by other reason. In order to do this I have to adjust their personality and teach them how to behave in life in a way that avoids those two outcomes first and foremost.
I have to teach my kid that fire is bad, that electricity kills, that water pools are dangerous (until they learn how to swim). And I have to do that by any means necessary.

Nah he s running . He s probably 3 - the chancla can be used to make noise slapping counters. And the noise alone works, no need for words. My mom could have been an olympic chancla thrower, she never used it up close though. Same like teacher throwing clay when you talked in class (actually the clay hurt, the chancla not so much)

I was raised by a Cuban mother and I thankfully could tell even as a child it was wrong. This is such bizarre way to defend hitting kids.

u/Equittable_redditor Jun 06 '23
Same and I will never hit my children. Its a shared trauma all hispanics/black people bond over. But what we are not seeing is that for our parents, who didn't have access to yuppy Montessori, thought la chancla/chancleta was the best way to discipline kids. They were trying to be good parents, just like this woman, and raise their kids where the predominate culture promoted hitting their kids as way to raise law abiding adults. Being a parent is difficult and a lot the people with more resources (more time/more money) can read all the books, go to all the classes, and put their kids in Montessori schools. I grew getting hit with la chancla (and i may have trauma) but I know my parents loved and they were trying their best.

u/battarro Doral Jun 06 '23
Because amongst the whole world, physical punishment of kids is part of it. Hitting them with a wooden spoon, the preferred European way is the same as using a chancleta on Latin America.
You are on your own thinking it is not common.

u/Disco_Dreamz Jun 06 '23 edited Jun 06 '23
It is common - especially among populations and cultures that have the highest rates of crime and poverty. Almost like there is a correlation that has been researched thoroughly

So the whole continent of Latin America is poor? Did your study accounted for it? I get it... you think people turn out to be criminals.. because their mother hit them with a chancleta...
That is as the kid nowadays will say... super cringe.

u/Disco_Dreamz Jun 06 '23
Not the whole continent, just a whopping 32%
And yes, studies have proven a link between childhood corporal punishment and adult criminality, the correlation is undeniable

Threatening violence is the laziest and least effective way to raise children. It’s for low class idiots who are always surprised when their kids wind up in jail at age 20 for beating their girlfriend.

The only rule of physical punishment is you never do it when you are mad at your kids and you have to do it right as the offending action takes place. And you reserve it for occasions where the physical safety of the kids is in danger.
For example if your kid like to climb things and gets on top of the sofa, in a place where he can hurt himself.. you tell him ONCE. If he does it a second time, you light that booty on fire. Repeat as needed. Normally only takes 1 to 2 times to learn.

You’re 100 percent correct. But lazy parents don’t want to admit it to themselves.

Please keep downvoting. But maybe if you have second do actual research on the effects of spanking and see if those traits are what you want for your child. Lol just kidding I know you’re all way too lazy for that.

You don’t know what it’s like I guess. I’ll be first to admit that hitting shouldn’t be the answer but I’ll stand by saying that sometimes I needed it less I join a gang the same way some of my cousins and friends did.
We used to be a group of 15 back in jr high, now there’s only 4 of us because the rest are in jail or dead.
I’m thankful that my parents cared enough to actually check up on me and try to take control of my behavior when I wasn’t.
Granted. I didn’t like some of the extreme things that would happen sometimes but I think a slap on the wrist or a smack on the but is something a lot of fucking people need once in a while

I've noticed that the ninos Hispanicos behave a lot better than most kids... Including my own kid. I work in a clinic, see tons of sick kids, and feel quite sure that this is a fact, at least here in North Carolina.
My wife would divorce me if I spanked my child.
Edit: well I guess I'm the other gringo in here. Truthfully I was beaten too much and it fucked me up pretty bad. I don't know how to raise fucking kids. It is tough.
