[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you only use spanking as a form of discipline, yes, it only works in the short term.  You won't see long term changes in behavior.

Do those studies look at whether spankings are used very rarely as punishments, and for the most part, other forms of non corporal punishments are used?

And as PPs have said, children model other people's behavior but you don't expect them to model all behavior, otherwise, you wouldn't drink a glass of wine in front of them for fear that they'd actually get a glass of wine to drink as part of their pretend play.  And you also wouldn't want to put your kids in time outs, take away a privilege, etc.. for fear that they will do that to other kids when they don't like something the other kid did.  This kind of comparison is really silly.

I work from home and am in front of my laptop a lot.  My kids see this. Do I want them to model this behavior - looking at their laptops all day?  No. I tell them this is part of my job, but not their's.  Silly to say that we expect our kids to model everything we do.[/quote]
