When I was a child, my father and mother both gave me a spanking if I was bad. Even if my mother, or father, was not in the problem. They pulled down my pants, and spanked me. I wouldn't dare do it to a child.

There is such a fine line between spanking and abuse and thats why this topic is such a hot one. A quick butt slap can correct a child in a hurry. I feel that taking a kids pants down and spanking them hard is degrating and abusive. That could cause phsychological problems, and probably wouldn't even work to correct behaviors- It would just scare them into listening. Age makes a difference as well. I know someone who was spanked at 16 years old by her father bare butt! At that age, this type of punishment is both sexual and physical abuse.

I think both spanking and persuading will be take into account. However, try to spanking as few as possible. Sometimes the effect of spanking will turn out to be scarely opposite to your original intention.

I am the mother of a 4 year-old girl. My husband and I have never spanked our child and we never will. She is a well-behaved and happy child. We believe that spanking is the lazy way to discipline a child. It takes more effort to discipline a child effectively, and most parents just don't want to deal with that. Based on what I have observed both in public and in private with other parents I know, moms and dads tend to pay attention to their child only when that child has done something wrong. I've lost count of the times in public I've seen parents reacting so negatively to their children. I don't see parents reacting with love, affection, and positive reinforcement very often. It's sad but I cannot say I am surprised when I think about how many unhappy, disrespectful, and even violent young people exist in the world today when I see so many negative relationships between children and parents.
