If they do something deserving of one...but one only. Anymore is beyond the point.

Break out the hide tanner!!!


Seriously, yeah go for it. Just so long as it's within reason.

naw, just go for straight punches.

When they're too young to be able to understand anything else, than yeah. When they're older, I'd probably try some other punishment and use spanking as a last resort.

imo, spanking is ok. beating your kid because you're angry or frustrated is not.

I had two younger sisters (12 years younger) and I can say that if they were not spanked for direct defiance (and only direct defiance and situations involving physical danger to them, never for mistakes or reasonable young-child stuff) they would be hideously uncontrollable brats right now. One in particular had a very strong-willed, self-focused personality from the beginning (the other, her twin, was much more laid back) and would look you straight in the eye and do exactly what you told her not to do. She broke her first window at about two years old. She's a sweet 8 year old now, thanks to moderate discipline.

COOL! That's a great way to raise your children!


But seriously, I was spanked when I was younger and I knew never again to do that certain thing I did. It's a good wakeup call for the kids, they need to listen to their parents.

I agree. Every day bad stuff = go to your room or something. And they are nto allowed a computer or xbox or something in their room.

Really bad stuff, spanking or belt.
