[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the replies here are idiotic. Spanking can absolutely be used as part of a broader parenting scheme. Your problem is that your kid is already pretty old to start spanking. You also don't mention what other punishments you have tried already - spanking should never be the first step, not even the second... spanking is the "ultimate" punishment and is meant to show your kid that they really messed up. Have you put the kid in a corner or made them sit quietly on a step or a chair, something mild, but boring should always be the primary punishment (once you get to the point of having to punish). Realistically this should have been started with a much younger child, and the spank would have been very mild.. now the kid is older and a mild spank will do nothing. [/quote]
+1 agree.

All you "omg you're gonna scar the kid for life" are being ridiculous.  No pediatrician will tell you that a couple of spanks when your kid was young is going to scar him for life.

It's the repeated spanking for every single little thing, the go to punishment with anger and screaming that can scar a child. Not the handful of spanking.

You people are ridiculous.[/quote]

Some of us aim a little higher than "not scarring our children for life," but I guess you don't.[/quote]
