Be a PARENT! I have 2 children and I have never even CONSIDERED laying a hand on them. If you know HOW to parent, you don't need to resort to that sort of stuff. Spanking results because the parent doesn't know what else to do. They are lost and cannot do what they are supposed to do.

you're 6 years old, what do you know about respect if you can still get whatever you want?
Like I said before. YOU CANNOT MONITOR THEM 24/7 as well.
And there are no ways of perminantly removing said privelages for the alotted amount of time.

oh I don't know about that....i sure the hell know that wooden laddle scarred the crap outta me more than a hand.
Spanking may be a temporary fix to a problem. It may even permanently stop a certain behavior, but the damage being done is worse than whatever the behavior was. A child who is regularly spanked will learn to fear their parents. As that child grows older he will seek ways to withdraw from an untrusting and scary relationship. Most parents will have stopped spanking by seven or eight, but by then the idea is already ingrained into the child that if he does something wrong he will get hurt. This leads to children who try to hide their mistakes from their parents because of fear. Spanking can lead to physical and emotional damage.
There are several other methods of discipline, including time out, natural consequences and redirection.

You sound as if you work in the field. Redirection works so well.

ok ok how old are your children? And I disagree. I have been in complete control when I spanked my children. A beating constitutes a loss of control.
i keep hearing "other methods" but no one other than finti is willing to give an example.
And when i was a child, there were no such things as parental locks on televisions and the alike.
Just a question, a little off topic, but still about discipline.
What does everyone feel about sending a child to their room without dinner as a form of punishment?

My children are 3 and 5 at the age when they are into everything and defiant and testing their limits.
Of course, if I can't get them to RESPECT me and LISTEN to me and DO WHAT I DAMN WELL TELL THEM TO DO, I'll just smack them. It should get their attention.

bullsh!t.
you haven't even reached the age of defiance yet. Wait until one is 9 and the other is 7. then you tell me about "earning respect."
your children are still crying when they don't get the toy they want at Toys R Us.
And when i was a child, there were no such things as parental locks on televisions and the alikethere are now 😈 😈
What does everyone feel about sending a child to their room without dinner as a form of punishmentdepends on whats for dinner, my parents used that sort of punishment a lot until they realised I rasied hell just to get out of having fish for dinner 😘
