[quote=Anonymous]I was never spanked as a child. I remember witnessing another kid getting spanked in public once when I was little and asking my mother what was happening. She explained to me in a disdainful tone that some parents spanked their kids because the parents were "dumb" and couldn't be bothered to learn how to parent and discipline properly. My mother is 70 and was not spanked by her parents, either, nor was my father by his parents. None of my cousins were spanked. None of us spank our kids. It's just not done. But I'm not sure that I've ever been presented with an alternate perspective on the issue so I'm reluctant to declare that no one should ever do it under any circumstances. It doesn't work for our family but I could absolutely see it for severely dangerous behavior in young children that has to be extinguished immediately by fear/shock, i.e. running into the street.[/quote]
