I'd always take the grounding over a spanking any day. Then again my parents didn't mess around when they spanked, it was serious. So spanking had the bigger impact, grounding was a bit easier. My husband and I are the same with our daughters.

I preferred grounding...that had a larger effect on me. I preferred to be alone a lot, but not necessarily only in my room. If I couldn't leave my room except for school, dinner, showers and to go to the restroom, it got really old really quick. Grounding came with no radio, no TV or any other form of entertainment. I was last spanked by my parents when I was 14.

i got spanked in which i liked cause it carried me a long way now cause i know right from wrong and a spanking doesn't last long as grounding, punishment it least lasted about a week then i was a kid i rather get a spanking cause after that spanking i would cry a little bit and stop and i still got to do the things i liked like go out side and stuff if you get grounded you can't do that .

This never happened to me and I have a good daughter so I am lucky.In Australia parents are not allowed to spank children and I agree because most times parents can do it out of anger and can hurt a child. There are other options of disciplining a child such as grounding banning friends from visiting etc but the most important thing is to talk to the child about why they should not have thedone wrong thing.

Spanking every time. A spanking and its affects only last a short time, a bit of pain and embarrassment but no big deal. Whereas grounding could affect you for days or weeks, you would have to be mad to choose grounding.

To those who prefer a spanking the rational is quite simple. The pain of a spanking is only momentary and a grounding could last a day,a week or whatever is deemed sufficient time to learn a lesson.

I wish they had spanked me.........if they would only have also told me they loved me. Honestly I can think of being spanked only 3-4 times the whole time I was growing up.....but I was told I was lazy and useless and no good every day. It's messed me up big time! The physical pain goes away but my heart and mind are a mess from the mental stuff.

i was spanked and grounded growing up. i prefered spanking becuase it was done and over with. when I was gruonded, I would complain so much that I got spanked and was still grounded. My last spanking was at 16 for coming home at 2 AM I knew there would be a consequence and blew it off. I got the belt on the bare bottom for that. I learned.

I think they should be grounded. When kids are little, it's alright to spank them because they will learn if they do something bad they will get a spanking. And they will remember it. And then grounding your kids would be best when they are older.

a combination of spanking and grounding does wonders, but the problem with the age of the child is the child may be old enough to be stronger than you. So I'd say the best thing for your case would be grounding, and make it as miserable as possible.
