[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like in my family [b]it's gotten gentler with each generation[/b]. Grandparents' generation was truly beaten as children, like abusive levels. My parents' generation was paddled and spanked but with switches/belts. I was spanked, lightly and just with hands, only a couple of times and reserved for very severe incidents. As a parent, I do not do corporal punishment (except would not rule out swatting a hand away harshly if DD tried to touch an open flame burner, etc. just to startle her away for safety).[/quote] I can only hope this is the case for many people. I can't recall being spanked though it's possible; my siblings were albeit sparingly. It didn't seem to really affect their behavior so I didn't get the message it was a strategy that worked. As a parent, I am opposed to punishment based discipline. My kids were easy, so my high horse is pretty low. [/quote]
