I don't understand it. A few decades ago, it was okay to spank your kids with a belt or paddle. Now, that's considered "bad parenting." For adults here, how were you raised as a child? If you were spanked with a belt or another object, why do you think adults that were raised in the same era so anti-spanking now? It appears to be a new phenomeon. How can that be so? Parents these days are too permissive. They treat their kids like puppies. They dress them up in pretty clothes, buy them lots of toys and have a little chair for them to sit in for time-out if them misbehave.
I think it's pathetic that the psychologists have jumped on the "talk it out" method with toddlers. Seriously. I want to be a psychologists, but I'm afraid to advocate spanking because I don't want my colleages to gasp in shock.
Before I get "omgz, don't beat your kids," relax. I know about the horrors of child abuse. Trust me. But I see nothing wrong with a calm spanking, even if it is with a belt
