This is a very good thread with a lot of great information. I received very few spankings from my father, but I remember them more than any. My mother even had a few back hands for my sister and me. I think that children need to have a good spanking from time to time, but I also think that a combination of punishment is wonderful also. There are times that you only need to talk to your child about his or her behavior. There are times that a time out is ok and there are times that a nice spanking is very appropriate. I will say that I have seen some cases where the parent had fun beating their child for everything. I don’t think anyone here likes to spank their child but know when it is needed. I have dealt with some very sad cases in my profession that makes me sick to the core. It wasn’t a case of a spanking and was a case of abuse. I feel that there is no one way to punish a child, but an arsenal of several methods can be very effective.
