Parenting tactics and discipline in your nation.....

[Zafiro]

What are some common parenting philosophies in your nation? When the child misbehaves is spanking an option? Or is discipline achieved by other means?

[United States of The One Percent]

Pro athletes get a pass on all restrictions regarding parental discipline in US-TOP. They can also smack their wives and girlfriends around.

[Nation of the Genuine Peoples]

We have annual inspections to check on the wellbeing of the children.
Parents are to typically treat children with care, enforcing strict discipline only if the child becomes sociopathic, and even then, they are to try to understand them. Materialism is discouraged, and smacking is illegal.

[Lumarlo]

Corporal punishment is illegal. As for parenting tactics, parents tend their roles as teachers, to raise independent children who think critically for themselves and to become productive, caring members of society. The importance of political participation, free thinking, service, and academic/artistic achievement are commonly stressed values.

[Themiclesia]

Spanking is an option, but there might be legal repercussions.

[UnaIslaHermosa]

In Una Isla Hermosa, we have a saying, "If a child, lies, defies or plays a prank, over the knee he or she goes for a firm spank."

Parents in Una Isla Hermosa are very harsh, but loving. Spanking is a very common form of discipline.

[The Salient Union]

Usually the parenting of a child is left up to them, but beatings have been outlawed as of now.

if anything reported to be unusual in a families lifestyle, agents are sent to ensure the well-being of the child - spanking has been considered taboo, but not illegal.

[Tolmakia]

Corporal punishment, spanking and physical beatings are discouraged and even outright banned in some places. However the parenting tactics and disciplining techniques are usually left up to parents and thus tactics differ by family. The most popular disciplining tactics are teaching children to understand the repercussions of their actions, and a common punishment is verbal reprimand.

[New Vihenia]

Effective parenting in Vihenia, works in every case.

[Anollasia]

Capital punishment is illegal so it's not a good idea to use it. Plus, most parents don't feel right about physically hurting their child.

Most parents try to teach them the consequences of what they've done, with say a lecture. Another option is grounding them or taking away something they like until they learn their lesson.

[Saurisisia]

If a child is being especially naughty, then they get a swat on the behind; otherwise, they'd either get a timeout or they get grounded for less extreme misbehavior. Discipline is seen as important in raising children as it helps shape their nature, outlook, behavior, and habits in adulthood.

[Sasoon]

there are no rules on parenting in Sasoon but usually mischievious kids get hit with sticks, whips or get grounded

[New Reading]

Abuse in any form is not tolerated of any person in New Reading, particularly its parents. Parents are encouraged to foster their children's personal development while ensuring they have sufficient moral development to make the best decisions. Parents are also encouraged to solicit the support of others in the community to ensure their child has a well-rounded area of support. Above all, parent's actions are encouraged to foster a strong sense of positive identity for their children rather than harming that identity needlessly.

[Pimps Inc]

If you get it,props to you.

This. Parents in Benland are allowed to raise their children however they want, including using physical force.

[Greater Weselton]

Parents are really strict here.

[Ayermani]

The Ayermani government leaves it to parents to discipline their children by any means necessary,so long as it does not cause grevious harm.

The design of the nuclear family unit is inherently inefficient and flawed, any advanced species would eventually move towards communal child rearing overseen by an all powerful state. This ensures maximum societal efficiency and equality.

Obedience is inherent in our species, as such discipline is rarely required. When it is needed it tends towards demerits demotion and dishonour, negatively affecting their future within the metriocracy.

This, for the most part. Young thoughtforms are "raised" by the constructor that produced them. Constructors are specialized for the task and wouldn't expect another caste to raise any children, as that would be pointless. Raising the child consists of teaching it basics about the world, usually focused around what caste it belongs to and what the function of that caste is supposed to be. This process is extremely short, on the order of hours, and is done in batches; groups of 10-100 children of a particular caste are raised at once, before which they are physically placed into their appropriate area by the constructor's attendants. Since all thoughtforms are born with an inherent understanding of their identity, including what is and is not acceptable in society, the actual content of their education is redundant. Instead, the process serves to affirm their purpose and cement the bond between them and their constructor. Basically, the constructor reassures them that the instincts they were given are accurate, and that it is okay to listen to them from now until eternity.

After that, the newborn thoughtform is ready to participate in society. If it is a scout, it is paired with another scout to go out on exploration missions with. If it is a soldier or sycophant, it is assigned to a raiding party consisting of one sycophant and one to ten soldiers, and informed of its first task. If it is a constructor, it is taken to its new home, either a newly empty room in the same building, or a spot where it can begin construction of an entirely new building. Failure to succeed in one's role is never punished, but failure to attempt it is a sign of deficiency and results in immediate execution. This is the only punishment ever meted out to children, or anyone. You are either a working thoughtform, in which case you follow protocol without the need for external guidance, or you are broken, and there is no need for your existence.

[TurtleShroom]

Parents in Una Isla Hermosa are very harsh, but loving. Spanking is a very common form of discipline.

If a child is being especially naughty, then they get [corporal punishment]; otherwise, they'd either get a timeout or they get grounded for less extreme misbehavior. Discipline is seen as important in raising children as it helps shape their nature, outlook, behavior, and habits in adulthood.

^ Those.

In TurtleShroomer law, the punishment for domestic abuse or child abuse is death. Beating children and wives is unacceptable and will be handled as it deserves to be.
The old mantra in TurtleShroom for abuse goes: "if the liquid flows clear (tears), obediance is near; if the liquid flows red (drawing blood), you'll soon be dead". This also applies to broken bones.

However, spanking and caning (be they switch, hand/appendage, corporal punishment rod, or belt) are very common and, indeed, are the most successful methods. Those who are unaffected by corporal punishment, as well as those that are, will also have privileges and toys revoked for bad behavior. The entire point of discipline is to teach the child to do right, not embitter them towards authority. The Bible says that a parent needs to be slow to anger and not be cruel or overly harsh to their child, just as the Father in Heaven treats them. God disciplines, and so do parents, but true discipline is done out of love and the need for children to be taught right from wrong by negative enforcement.

On an unrelated note, all schools from elementary to college are allowed to use coporal punishment/paddling on their students. Colleges seem to administer it almost as much as elementary schools, because college students are infamously rebellious and downright stupid.

Submission and obediance to authority is taught in all TurtleShroomers from birth, but they are also ordered to defy someone who forces them to defy the holy teachings of God, in His Word. (For example, forcing someone to murder another innocent, or being ordered to perform an elective abortion, or forcing them to worship or not worship God or an idol, or forcing someone to renounce, defame, or defy God. The entire point of religion is free will.)

In many cases, children are to be seen, not heard, unless they are with other children or playing, etc. .

[Blakullar]

Parents are encouraged by the state to teach their children to respect authority and to be obedient. However, how a child is raised is left to the parents themselves. That is, unless they give their children an upbringing incompatible with the government's ideology, such as a religious, anti-communist or pacifist one. The former two are the most severe, and will immediately lead to the incarceration of the parent(s) responsible and the referral of the child to a re-education centre.

[Zhouran]

The use of corporal punishment or any child-abusing methods are actually illegal, and any parents who commit such acts are executed.

Instead, if a child acts disobedient or naughty, that child would have to undergo self-criticism sessions.

[Arnevia]

Light corporal punishment (aka, a good old-fashioned spanking) by parents is legal. Parents try to instill a sense of discipline and civic duty into their child(ren), but most don't go any more out of their way to do so than would be considered "normal."

The compulsory military service from age 18 to 21 helps, though. Even the most idiotic teenager knows that if they act like a moron, three years of their life is going to make Hell seem like paradise by comparison.

[Grand Russian Federation]

Double envelopment and then drop a discipline bomb afterwards.

"Have we not discussed this child? ... Reasoned with you?!?
"Now go pick a switch!"
