Hmmm, I guess I was doing good for my kids. They are productive members of society, even though they have minds and opinions of their own and don't mind voicing them and providing the facts to back them up.

Well, there is spanking and there is abuse. It's about time they figure out we shouldn't let those kids do whatever they want. Sometimes a spanking is needed. Don't need a belt or paddle or whatever to do it though.

Spirit of the law or letter of the law?: The vast majority of professionals agree that child bottom-battering/slapping isn’t healthy. A marginal few (mostly religious fundamentalists as those at Calvin) think that child bottom-slapping is good. They use the same selective literalist interpretation of the Bible as was used to justify “witch”-burning, depraved torture methods for those accused of sin and heresy, slavery, racism, wife-beating, oppression of women and a host of other social ills.

The vast majority of professionals is liberal and bent over double with political correctness. Thus, it would be unexpected for them to be for the proverbial "swat on the butt." However, it has been used by mothers since we were living in caves and has saved many little fingers and hands from the cave fire to the light socket. No one will ever love you as unreservedly as your mother and she is the one who swatted your butt when you were about to do something dangerous or stupid. That tool used to be transferred to female teachers who were the first females for whom little boys had feelings of love beyond mother. So classroom paddling was natural and created both an orderly learning environment and transference; an important step in development. Once again political correctness has destroyed that which worked so well for so many so long. It would appear we are doomed to destruction from within.

Please show in the Bible where “witch”-burning, depraved torture methods for those accused of sin and heresy, wife-beating, oppression of women and a host of other social ills is supported. We are talking about spanking, not abuse, there is a difference. If you had read the article, you would know that the physical discipline occurred during the early years, 2-6, and wasn't an on-going action. The ages mentioned are the years in which children are learning the differences between right and wrong. They are also learning self-control and what is acceptable behavior. I'm sure that most of these professionals don't have children and are trying to project their beliefs onto those who do have children. You can't walk a mile in another's shoes if you havent' traveled his path.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with spanking your child when you're doing it out of love, not rage and anger. There is a difference (a very BIG difference) between spanking and abuse. I spank my children and I get so many compliments on the behavior of my children and how respectful they are. People act like it's a secret to raising good, behaved, well-mannnered children. Let's continue to do what the government says and continue to let our children get out of line. Time out may work for some children, but it's very obvious that it's not doing the job alone. I was spanked as a child as well and I don't go around thinking if I have a problem with someone that it's automatically okay to resort to hitting. Now, on the flip side of that if someone puts their hands on me first, I most definitely will defend myself. You have to TEACH your children these things. Quit leaving the responsibility of raising your children up to the teachers in the schools, Lord knows they can't handle these children nowadays. If you teach your children and talk with them in conjunction with spanking, there is nothing wrong with it.

"If you teach your children and talk with them in conjunction with spanking, there is nothing wrong with it." That is the secret. You don't just spank a child and leave it at that. You also don't spank them when you are angry or upset.

Does anyone here remember reading of the work of Pavlov and the newer, more fashionable aversion therapy? There is a psychologist in Russia who claims treating depression with spankings gets better results than anything. Karl Marx said, "Without physical pain there is no gain." Now that should make all the liberals happy and ready to bend over.

His spankings were EVIL; however if I were spanked by a loving, caring father, who took the time to explain WHY I was being punished, and further explained that punishing me was an act of correction and love, I would have, on an emotional level welcomed the punishment.(while I probably would have been crying and trying to get him to forgo applying the strap.)

My mom would spank me as a child. I would then ask what did I do wrong. She would never answer me, just spank me. I believe in talking with the child first to let them know why it is wrong in what they did and then disciplining (spanking, if need be) them. If you talk with them and explain why it is wrong in what they did, they will more than likely remember the next time they are wanting to do it. Spanking is a whole lot different than abuse. I do not believe in abuse.

I completely agree with you. Growing up with abusive alcoholics isn't the same as growing up with a father that wants to theach his daughter right from wrong and spanks her now and then. There is love in spanking. Hitting out of anger or influence is just hitting and no longer punishment. The child just begins to detest everything and find flaws in itself. Hence the most common phrase "why me" begins to appear

I think spanking is a very important role in parenting ! Usually over the clothing should be enough, but occasionally some kids (especially boys) need it across their Bare Bottom !
