[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do spank.  Never out of anger, however.  I think that's the key- like PP said, there are a few things that are an automatic spanking in our house.  Like any consequence, the kids KNOW why they are being spanked, and we discuss the issue before and after the correction.  Hugs, kisses, and reflection on how we can do better next time.  And then it's done, and we move on.  No different than other consequences.

I am not a fan of the impromptu whack on the butt stuff. [/quote]

Just to push your thinking here a bit, would you be okay if your kids hit someone even if it wasn't out of anger? If you have a discussion about why they are being spanked, it seems reasonable to leave it at that. I was hit/spanked by my mother and it's never a good thing to see your parent so out of control. It completely change our relationship, for the worse. [/quote]

I'm not sure I understand the question. The issue would be whether the spanker has legitimate authority to issue a punishment. Kids don't have this authority over other kids; kids can't take away each other's iPhones, either.[/quote]
