I don't spank and I will never spank my children.I don't approve of violence over adults,let alone over children.I discipline them and teach them but I don't violate them by spanking, yelling, criticizing, ashaming or anything like that.

NO
I think spanking is wrong.
Here we are in this great country the USA and still permit parents to beat, paddle their kids.. I know the word spanking doesn't sound as bad as beating does right..
These countries have banned corporal punishment..
The practice has been banned in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Norway, Romania, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Ukraine.
SHAME ON US!! that we're not on this list!

Yes. Sometimes spanking is the best thing to do. BUT it is only one tool in your parenting toolbox. Far more important than any spanking are things like: guidance, love, pats on the back, hugs, praise, attention, patience, etc. etc.

Yes, We have a set of core rules (things like no lying, stealing, getting in trouble at school) which are our a major no-no in our home. If those rules are broken they will get a spanking. We also spank for dangerous situation, direct defiance, and as a last resort.
Sounds like a lot, however spanking are quite rare for my girls. Once the rules are clear, they know what they can and can't get away with.
Good Luck

Never have and never will, I think to spank a child is abusing the child.

No , they get punished or grounded . Because how can you teach a child not to hit if you hit them (spank) ?

Yes. But only if my daughter is doing something that can hurt her and she has been told more than once to stop (2 verbal warnings, then two swats on the butt), and if she does something that she knows that she is not supposed to do(this gets 3 verbal warnings, then a time out....if she does it again, then I swat her butt).

NO, respecting them and treating them as regular people is better. Hitting them and treating them like a rogdoll is not anyway to treat a child.
Respect tham and treat them as a good humanbeing, as if they were adults, if u show them respect, they will express the smae to you. Therefore you will get a better child who does not goof off as much

No, I believe there are many other ways to correct a child instead of teaching them that hitting is a solution.
