[quote=Anonymous]For me, spanking is an escalation when other disciplining techniques have not worked.  Agree that it is not done in anger or as. An unexpected response..  for me,  typical scenario is that first offense is time out with a discussion afterwards of what the unacceptable behavior was.  Second offense is loss of a item or privilege that is favored.  Afterwards discussion that a repeat of behavior will result in a spanking.  Spanking can be either a swat on the bottom (most common) but in cases of hitting a sibling I have swatted the back of the hand.  Not hard but enough to cause a light sting (for me, about as hard as I would swat a mosquito).

I have only had to resort to this a few (less than 5) times between the ages of 2-4 (current age) but it is noted that it is an escalation.  Often the discussion that the third offense will bring this is sufficient deterence (or when seeing near behavior, asking "do you want a spanking?") And I never have to actually execute.[/quote]
