I was spanked rarely as a child. So rarely, I can tell you all 3 times I was spanked w/ a belt & what I did wrong in each incident & that I NEVER did it again. As a child was "flicked" (didn’t really hurt…just got your attention) when misbehaving by my father & my mother only slapped me once - I was 16 & totally disrespecting her…100% deserved & have never talked down at her like that since!
I as a parent, rarely need to spank my children because 99.9% of our discipline "tactics" work well before we would feel the need to spank. My 12 year old step-son (SS) is spanked quite frequently by his father…my husband who rarely spanks our children (my SS has been spanked by me a total of 3 times his entire life), but can tell you his behavior is a far cry from our other 3 children and to each child his own.
So the question to you is, do you spank your children? How do you feel when you see others spank their children in public...or those who do NOT discipline their children in public?
