I'll have to pipe in here and say while I do NOT approve of beating a child, it is nesessary at times (of course, depending on the child) to use the 'Hand of Knowledge to the Seat of Learning'.
This method of punishment is Ok till they reach the teen years, then we switch to the grounding or removal of items approach. This is the way my parents brought me up. Oh I had my share of spankins, but nothing above the rear end, and nothing fierce, and I turn out just fine. *twitch, twitch*  My husband was raised the other way however, with a very abusive father and I've seen the results - it's not pretty. He's been to counseling to deal with the fall out from that abuse. (that just about took an act of God to get him there, but it helped).In short, no matter what the laws of the country say, as a parent it should be up to your observations of the personallity of your child as to which method works best for you and your child. As to the don't spank your kid laws, I have about 7 passages marked in my Bible for just that occasion, if I ever get hauled into court for that one. The rear end is a fair target as far as I'm concerned, its padded and covered in a diaper for the first 2 years, the face is off limits unless a filty word passes the lips, then its just a slight tap to the mouth. They tell us over and over again not to use corporal punishment to teach our children BUT let your child so something wrong and you are held responsible in the way of fines or jail time. What do they want? Someone is going to get punished. -------------------- 'No arsenal, no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'

This was much better than Dr.Spock |
