Stacie Duce, over at Mormon Times, recently related an experience<\/a> in which a Nursery worker in one ward spanked someone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s child for being unruly.<\/p>\n I recently got a call from a nursery leader who went on vacation and came back to find her class had been a vortex of chaos in her absence. Actually, it wasn’t that bad. But her mild-mannered assistant, who grew up during an era when spanking was an appropriate form of schoolroom discipline, had swatted the backside of a perpetually aggressive nursery child.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n She added:<\/p>\n In defense of the spanker, apparently, it worked. The boy settled down and the parents did not need to be disrupted from other classrooms in the church.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Spanking should be a decision left to parents. Period.<\/p>\n In a church setting, I do not believe that parents should expect Primary workers (Nursery or otherwise) to be their children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s disciplinarians, nor do I think Primary workers should expect they shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t disturb the children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s parents.<\/p>\n Parents have a responsibility to raise their children, and that includes disciplining them to behave properly in social settings. No one else should do this work for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stacie Duce, over at Mormon Times, recently related an experience in which a Nursery worker in one ward spanked someone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s … Continue reading Spanking in Nursery<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
