[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are going to do what people are going to do. The majority of Americans still believe in spanking. [b]The research is unequivocal that it does not help and often makes problems worse.[/b][/quote]

Not for my kid.  It helped.  DS was 8.[/quote]

NP here. The research is very clear that resorting to physical punishment is wholly worse than parenting effectively without spanking. Apparently your parenting skills could use some work.[/quote]

and research has also shown that a handful of spankings over the course of child's life does absolutely no harm in the long run, and used judiciously can be effective.  The overwhelming research on this issue deals with spanking as a first resort, and often.  And most researchers are biased, and the "research" conclusions usually support their bias.

My kids aren't perfect.  But I'm pretty sure neither are your's even with your parenting skills.  So, if your kids aren't perfect all the time, then what does that say about your parenting skills?[/quote]

No, there is no creie research saying even occasional slamming can be beneficial. You are correct that there is research saying it is not always harmful. If you spank once or twice out of frustration disguised as being a stern parent, I'm not going to judge you. We all make mistakes at parenting. It's the people who want to convince themselves that it wasn't a mistake and really does help who are making a larger mistake.[/quote]
