[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kid was little around 2, she pushed every button, and I ended up spanking her once or twice.  I felt so bad that I let myself do that.  I vowed never to do it again, and I haven't.

I remember being hit by my parents even when I was like 10 years old, my dad hit me with a belt.  I will never forget it, and would not want to do anything like that to my children.  [/quote]

No one here advocates hitting with a belt or any instrument.  Spanking should be open handed, never a fist.  [/quote]

I don't care how you do it.  It isn't right.  If you've read any studies on spanking, you will find that the jails are full of people that were spanked as a child.

Spare the rod and lower the crime rate? There is a growing body of data suggesting such a link.

The Charlemagne blog on The Economist’s website explores the question of why violent crime is steadily decreasing in Europe in particular and much of the developed world in general, and concludes that the drop correlates with a similar decrease in the rates of children being spanked.

[b]Numerous studies over the years have found that children who are spanked are more likely to become teens and then adults who are violent. They are also more prone to suffer with psychological problems, abuse drugs and alcohol, and own firearms, some studies have found.[/b]
