We haven’t spanked any of our kids. My concerns are 1) you’re doing exactly what you tell your kids not to do, and 2) a parent who is really in command should be able to effectively discipline without resorting to violence. I’m open to other perspective, but that’s been my take

And the idea that kids who are spanked are better behaved is just empirically completely false, absurd, and not supported by any research whatsoever. In fact the research cuts in the other direction.

There are times when a child can not be reasoned with, and to allow a behavior to continue puts the child or others in danger of physical harm... at which point absolutely. Reasoning should always be attempted first, however.

Exactly! A slap on the butt if the child runs out into the street without permission or looking (depending on age) is way more appropriate than letting them get hit by a car. You have to associate things like that with pain because the later is worst!

We aren’t spanking our kids when they misbehave anymore. More and more adults are acting like children. It isn’t really that tough of a connection to make.

Same goes for behavior in school and the lack of paddling.

Spanking should be reserved for outright defiance, cruelty/bullying, and (if all else fails) for lying. It loses its effect if overused: the fear of a thing is worse than the thing.

So true. I grew up living in fear of the wooden spoon and even worse, the sound of the drawer opening where said wooden spoon lived. It was surely enough to shut us right up!

Spare the rod, spoil the child. Train a child up in the way he should go and when he is older he will not depart from it. If it’s commanded by God, it’s good enough for me. It goes without saying that does not include child abuse.
