[quote=Anonymous]This thread is so wild. Families are different, kids are different, and different things will work for individual kids. Whatever works to guide a child into behaving well, learning the lessons their parents and other elders seek to teach them, and treating authority figures with respect for both the child's sake and that of the superior is fine. I really don't understand all the arguing. For those calling spanking abusive, a majority of the American public seems to disagree as do laws in most jurisdictions. Abuse has a meaning -- such as that which was experienced by the PP who was hit with implements such as a belt and yard stick -- let's not dilute the idea of child abuse by equating all spankings to that. However, a lot of the parents on this thread who spank have been ridiculous as well. Name-calling isn't okay from children and is just sad from adults. Furthermore, there's no need to claim or imply that choosing not to spank must mean another poster is raising bratty kids. Most parents will find what works for them and go with that.[/quote]
