If you have EVER been in a public setting and your kid that is not a very small infant was acting up and you got more than 2 nasty looks, you don't know how to control/are doing a poor job of teaching your children!
Spankings CAN work, but it depends on how it used. re-read that sentence whenever you start thinking I am wrong. I am an adult, and have raised one kid who is out & gone, and am raising another. Both are/were honor students. the 2nd is 8, and is a true joy to behold. have I spanked him? YES! BUT, it is at the END of a LOOOOONG process! The process is some fussing, alot of explaining, ALOT of listening on MY part, alot of aking sure he is listening on his, + loss of privileges, time outs, and all that rot. IF, at the END of that loooong process, the problem is not handled, and I mean not covered up or pushed aside, but handled, THEN the spank-option gets put on the table! So, the grown adult is past his spanking days, so we are talking only of the 8yr old. How many times have I had to spank him? IN the last year, maybe once. In his whole life? 5 times total. He knows his limits, and just like any kid, he is going to push them. hey, it's all part of Love and the relationship. He has to know that there IS a limit, a line that cannot be crosed, and that there is a consequence to that end for his actions, as long as HE chooses to push it that far, and YES, I DO make sure he knows that he is in total control of the outcome!Go thru all that, and if you get to that spanking part, then it is OK to use, buecause you won't be there much, or often!
BTW, if some O' Y'all had gotten the treatment aboe, I wouldn't see so many so-called "expersts" that have never had kids weigh in on the subject!
And I got a real "laff" out of your grammar, sentence structure and spelling. WOW ❌
