[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spanking is a humiliating and ridiculous practice that will only cause a rift between you and your children. Your child will always remember that moment, especially at age ten, but not in the way you might want him to...[/quote]

You broke the trust between you and your child....by hitting him.[/quote]

[b]+1 what are you goign to do when he gets older and does something worse?[/b][/quote]

If you are spanking a 10 year old child and he works and never does anything bad again, OK.

But I presume you also spanked him when he was 3 and 5 and 7 and 8 and 9, right?   And he STILL hasn't learned to do the right thing.     So he's going to keep on doing wring things... are you going to keep on spanking him, when he is 13 and 15 and 17??[/quote]

OP said that they rarely spanked. What you're describing is spanking as a more regular means of punishment, so your point doesn't hold. For example, I have spanked my son twice  - once for running in traffic, and once for trying to climb over a third story balcony. He has not done those things again. I would totally consider spanking in OPs situation and would expect a lesson to be learned. [/quote]

How old was your kid though?   I can't believe you spanked a school aged child for running in traffic or climbing over a balcony.  Did you?   Surely if you spanked for those offenses, it was at the age when kids are most likely to do impulsive things like that -- age 3 or less.

SOmeone who spanks "infrequently" but is still spanking a 10 year old, I have to assume is doing it at least every year.
