[quote=Anonymous]I think theres a difference btwn a slap and a spanking - the latter usually longer duration. I did smack my kids in the bottom until around 3ish, when they were old enougn to reason with. Then we started the 1-2-3 method with time outs or other punishment. I think a smack in the bottom is ok as a reset and warranted for dangerous behavior - you prob should have done it sooner before you lost control, which just makes the situation worse. Find the balance for an effective tool at that age, a smack does not constitue bad parenting or permanent damage (like the saying, prob hurt you more than them), and honesty constant yelling is more abusive in my opinion.[/quote]
