Do disciplinarean people actually have a limit as to how violent they should be when punishing people?
"The smack just keeps getting harder".

Spanking is not violence nor is it smacking if that's what you're getting at. Anything other than a pop on the butt is abuse.

I spank when it is warranted. But its not abusive its just enough to get the attention and i use other methods of correction first such as time out in the corner one minute per year of life if that doesnt work and the behavior continues then i take things away then if it stills continue they get a couple swats (2or3) . Heres a question for you why should I or any parent go through all that before a child listens? we shouldnt as long as we arent physically or mentallly harming our children theres nothing wrong with stoping the bad behavior with what works the first time so now that my kids had gotten out of control because nothing worked i get down to there level so i have full attention give the warning and make them repeat not only what is going to happen if they dont stop but also i make them tell me what they did wrong depending on what the bad behavior was it is either the corner od a couple of swats if it is repeated. Heres another question for you If nothing works short of a couple swats on the behind what do you suggest im curious because i didnt spank either with my daughter i didnt have to not once but my boys got out of control now that i do spank when warranted they slowly getting back to my good boys there behavior isnt as bad

there is a difference between spanking and beating your child. if you have a three year old who insist upon touching the electric socket or other things that can hurt him/her a slight smack on the hand will let them know not to touch that. i feel there's nothing wrong with that. however if your child is older than 8 years old you should not spank. i feel spankings should be used from ages 2-7 anything younger than 2 the child is too young to understand why you hit them. older than 7 it becomes an abuse issue. but again these are my views

I agree with the previous answer. The smack though could be too bad. I approve of spanking 100%.

Spanking and hitting are two completely different things.
No parent likes to spank their children but it is sometimes necessary.
No parent uses spanking as an only form of punishment.
Spanking isn't the same as violence....
Parents that spank do it to get their attention, not to hurt them.
Parents that spank aren't afraid to discipline their children.

Okay, spanking is not violence or abuse or hitting. It's these weirdos who don't believe in spanking who are going to reach their breaking point one day and beat the crap out of their kids.

i never spank as hard as i could, nor would i.
i dont understand why some people who are against spanking seem to think we all just keep giving them more and more swats and keep hitting them harder and harder, thats such crap and not true, some parents who lose control do that, but thats it.

Hmmm well my brother in laws hit all their kids if they disbehave but they quit when the kids start crying. No need to worry they make sure they don't break anything in the kids.
