[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, haven't read the whole thread.

Regardless of what you call it, I don't think anyone can dispute that it is purposefully causing pain as a means of behavior modification.

That's scary to me, and not something I'm comfortable with or consider moral as a means of child discipline.[/quote]

All punishments cause some sort of pain, whether it's physical or emotional (from isolation, banishment, restriction, denial of privileges/pleasure, criticism, disappointment, etc.) What makes physical pain, specifically, immoral?[/quote]

You wasted your time responding to this poster as she probably won't read it.  She did not bother reading the thread.  She just wanted to post her worthless two cents.  [/quote]

I thought her two posts were interesting. Certainly didn't have the effect of convincing me not to spank or punish, somewhat the opposite. We discuss, and are understanding about being hungry, overtired, etc., but that's no excuse, especially as they get older.

Anyway, it seemed such an extreme perspective, and different from mine. It's good to hear other viewpoints.[/quote]
