[quote=Anonymous]Since the studies show that 80-90 percent of American parents have spanked their children, this has little to do with racism or classism. I know many, many POC and lower income people who do NOT spank. And plenty of middle-upper class white christians who do. So go ahead and put aside the classist racist stuff. What I am hearing from several parents is this: we went from yelling and screaming to hitting and/or we have to punish less because now we just hit. Like, what? Half the people who say this crap say they were spanked as children and they turned out okay. Clearly not because you think it is okay to hit a child. Call it swat, smack, pat, whatever BS word you want. You are HITTING your child. Our job as parents is to raise productive, healthy, conflict solving good citizens. At lest two of those attributes is diminished by resorting to spanking.[/quote]
