[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.

[b]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.[/b]     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]

Again, I don't believe in spanking but this is stupid. No matter what discipline method you choose, [b]your kids will not outgrow doing things wrong until they are adults[/b]. Of course he does things wrong growing up -- he is a kid -- [b]whether you use time outs, taking away privileges or whatever[/b], it is a process.[/quote]

That wasn't my experience as a child, nor has it been my experience with my own kids (who are now 9 and 13)  Once we kids (or my own kids) hit school age, we basically did what we were supposed to do.  In fact I don't EVER recall being punished as a school aged child or teenager.  Nor were my other 3 siblings punished.  No time outs, no groundings, nothing.

Once my brother's grades really slipped, and he had to give up a sport until he brought them back up.  But that's not really "punishment" just a natural consequence.

My parents were pretty upfront about the fact that we were part of the family, they expected us to behave as part of the family, and if we had trouble doing so, we talked it out and figured what the problem was.   We didn't need to be punished; we WANTED to be part of the family and to help out, behave, and do the right thing.
