Im not sure if you guys are anti spanking period, but I know I'm not. I'm not saying beat the kid sensless, but I do know a spanking went a very long way with me when I was a child. I didn't get many at all because I was (seriously) a good kid. Mainly because I didnt want a spanking
. I behaved in public mostly, if I didnt I got it when I got home, depending on how bad I acted of course. I know for sure I am not a time out kind of guy.
There is a difference between beating a kid and a spanking but unfortunatly people usually relate the two together.
