[quote=Anonymous]I’m a preschool teacher and a parent. I was spanked a few times as a child. I have never spanked my own children or any of my students (of course). I bring up that I’m a teacher because I can control a classroom of 3 year olds without resorting to hitting them to teach them how to behave. Hitting a child serves to scare them, shame them, and IF it extinguishes the behavior, it’s with possible permanent damages to the parent child bond. I run a tight ship in my classroom and my students respect me and my rules and my routine. Same with my own children at home. Also—how can you teach a child not to hit their siblings or peers when you are hitting them? Parenting is hard, it’s exhausting, it takes work, it’s many many years of the same thing over and over. Spanking is the “easy” way out. If you can’t figure out anything else—get help from a book, a class, a coach.[/quote]
