I don't think it is. There are other ways to discipline children, but some children only react to spanking while others you can simply take a toy away of sit them in the corner. It depends on the child. I also grew up on "spare the rod, spoil the child" and I firmly stand by that. There is a BIG difference between spanking/disciplining a child and beating them. I don't think you should ever spank a child when you are angry.

No its not. Some kids need spankings if they are doing something very dangerous that will harm themselves or others. Some children react to spankings and not time outs etc... Every child is different and all need different ways of discipline. Some do great with time outs, some dont and need to be spanked occasionally. Not beat, just spanked. THere is a huge difference even though some silly people dont see it that way. I was spanked and Im perfectly fine. And it doesnt teach that hitting is ok. I myself have never ever just gone up to someone to hit them because I was spanked and Im not violent at all.

We all have different ideas of what wrong means.
Spanking is a very slippery slope. I don't think it is worth it. And to everyone who likes they say they turned out ok even though they were spanked... There have to be a few exceptions to every rule!

Kids need to be spanked at times. There is a huge difference between spanking and hitting. Hitting is never ok, spanking is.

I spank my kids. I was taught spare the rod, spoil the child. There is a HUGE difference between spanking and abusing.

My 2yo started to discipline his baby brother (8mo) by slapping his hand and telling him "no no no" for grabbing his toy. This is after we got him for trying to play with the wall socket. Monkey see, monkey do.
My 2yo can't differenciate being punished for dangerous behavior and being punished for just being naughty. It just confuses him.
My husband trys to use eye for an eye.. teach him not to bite by biting him... Well, let me just say THAT FAILS.. lol
We use time outs now. I earn the respect. The kid learns not to do wrong. It has worked very well so far... but my kids are just toddlers.
