[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH. I was “beaten” as a child. And I beat my kids. 🙄

Here’s the deal. I’m a guy. There were basically two kinds of corporal punishment when I was a kid. One was the angry swat to your butt, or when you’re a smart ass 12 year old, a slap to your face. Those I don’t recommend, but totally understand that it happens.

The other kind, which I fully endorse, and have implemented, is the calm, old school, “you disobeyed/lied/were totally defiant/ignored two warnings, and now you’re going to go over my knee and get a spanking.” Those are extremely effective because you know that it’s based on your actions, not on your parents’ anger.

And because it’s effective, it’s not something that’s happening all the time by any means, like some people will suggest is necessary for other discipline. [/quote]

Where do you get the idea that it’s effective? How do you factor in potential harm? What do you think of the idea that the American academy of pediatrics and other professional organizations say spanking is ineffective at best and harmful at worst? [/quote]
