[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a huge difference between spanking your child vs. disciplining your child. Due to certain people going overboard and overstepping certain boundaries, now that find line that exists between the two is practically invisible.

As a child, I was spanked when I did something I wasn't supposed to do. I was spanked w/a belt. Ouch.

However, it sure taught me not to repeat my offense again and taught me a huge lesson.

My parents made a lot of mistakes in raising me and I hold a lot of things they did to me against them. However, spanking is not one of them.

It was an effective way to teach me to obey.

My parents did it w/out abusing me.[/quote]

When you use a belt it is no longer considered spanking, it's called child abuse/assault. Using anything other than a bare hand on the bum for one-two spanks is against the law. Using spanking as discipline should not leave any marks at all, no cuts, bruises or red marks. If it's done by an intoxicated adult even properly, it's then considered abuse. If the spanking is used as a tool for the parents to release some frustration, it's abuse. If name-calling or multiple smacks are involved, it's abuse. It is a last resort option and should never be done out of anger or to invoke fear.  Honestly, it should never even be allowed as a form of discipline but I can only advocate against it.  You pp were physically abused as a child, and the fact that you believe it's effective shows how much damage it has already caused you.   [/quote]
