You will never convince me that this is how you get the results you are looking for- through violence, even if it is "controlled". Affection and respect never fail. My Dad respected me and I respect my kids. Kids get respect and feel like part of an invaluable family unit and they respond with respect. My kids (15,13,10) have never given me a single bad day. Not one. They know what I expect and they step up. They get their strength from within the family and know this is their safe place-not a place that creates anxiety. There is a better way to teach than by hitting. If that's the best you have as a parent, then I feel bad for where you stand as a human being.
Well put. I was spanked some as a kid, but nowhere ever in the same realm as the matter at hand. Did it help? Who knows? I was pretty shy and didn't get out of line too much the older I got.
But the bottom line in my family was always love and respect for one another. Loving and respecting my parents made me not want to disappoint them or do something that I know they didn't care for. I plan to treat my kids the same.

I'm not going to condemn someone who spanks a child, and I don't think that child is abused. I just think there is a MUCH BETTER WAY to get the results you are seeking. It's too lazy of an approach to me, not emotionally intelligent enough, too interlinked with anger, which is such a destructive emotion inside the family unit.
