[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who was physically abused and a parent, I have so much love for my child that it sickens me to know that my parents and other parents would consider physical violence against people they are supposed to love to be acceptable. There is no excuse or justification for modeling physical harm as a way to deal with a parent’s anger/frustration or behavioral concerns. [/quote]

I agree. It makes no sense from any perspective. It’s inappropriate to hit someone because you’re angry. It’s also inappropriate to hit someone to “teach them a lesson.” Why are these things are okay to do to children? They’re not. It’s lazy parenting. [/quote]

Well, except it does make sense. My parents spanked me… I did not and do not consider them to be abusive and … they were NOT lazy. I felt adored by them. To me, spanking was just a consequence for bad behavior I knew in advance was wrong. No different than a time out, and maybe preferable because it was shorter. Ditto for my husband. [/quote]

100% agree with this[/quote]

Have you ever heard of the orchid theory? You are likely a dandelion, no matter your environment you would have flourished (within reason). Not every kid is a dandelion. Not spanking is best for ALL kids even though some are not harmed by it,. [/quote]

Your flower analogy is a totally valid argument.[/quote]

Its a psychology theory  you ignoramus. And a book was written on the subject by a US pediatrician and professor. The fact that you dont know about it, tells me all I need to know about you and your opinions. [/quote]
