Spanking Children? Right or Wrong?

Pretty much what happened with my sis and I as children.

And FYI, it's never been more than one gentle swat on her well-padded butt.  I'm not pulling out extension cords like I may have (ahem) "seen" happen when I was a child.

Oh yeah I pinch my 3 year old nephew cuz you can't reason with babies/toddlers and some times they don't learn until they feel.

I can't say how much I condemn punching and kicking your kids. That shh always excessive and uncalled for to me. Also, if your parents are finding creative way to harm you greatly and keep it hidden there's a problem with them.

It all depends. I was a smartass growing up so just telling me something wasnt gonna cut it. Some people need to see and feel the ramifications of their actions before they learn from them.

It's definitely not necessary and can be avoided. The things I caught a whipping for though I never did again. I think the explanation for why you hit them after you do is the most

important part. Otherwise its like you just got beat up for no reason and you get angry. I think thats where the trauma sets in, with the senseless beatings not the ones for a reason.
