[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why strike your children on what you're simultaneously teaching them is a "private area"? I've been called a pedophile for having the audacity to find this sick. [/quote]

It's an interesting question. I'd say tradition is a big part of it. Also, I think it seems a little more dissociated from the person, if that makes sense. Having been slapped in the face once or twice, it's a totally different feeling, like it's much more of a personal affront.

Where would you recommend striking them? [/quote]

NOWHERE. How about don't strike your[b] small, helpless, defenseless children[/b] at all?[/quote]

Children are quite capable of harming themselves or others, by action, inaction, word or deed.  That's the point.

People who do not spank usually give other "consequences" or punishments, including time outs, loss of privileges, yelling, etc.  Why?  Because children need to learn -- because children are not small, helpless, defenseless.  [/quote]
