[quote=Anonymous]OP - I've posted on here stating that I've spanked my DC a handful of times, but 3 is too young.  If something is happening at preschool, and you wait to spank your DC when you get home, it's kind of too late.  If there are behaviorial issues at school, the teachers should be applying consequences to your DC then and there.  You can reinforce the rules by talking a lot to your DC, and possibly using a reward chart.  I'm not a fan of the reward chart when they are older, but when they are young like this, it works a lot better.

When my DC was 5, DC got on a behavior chart at school.  We were not happy.  We took away all of DC's privileges, and DC had to earn it back one by one by getting a happy face on the behavior chart at school everyday.  It took just two weeks for DC to behave better.

DC is  not perfect. We've had challenges since, (DC is now 10) and we have spanked DC a handful of times over the years for other offenses at home after nothing else worked.  But, I do think 3 is too young, and spanking a child for something he did at school at such a young age will not change his behavior because at this age it's harder for them to make that connection. There's too much time in between.
