Why are you NOT suposed to use your hand when you spank your child? I must say I don't spank very often, but when I do I can't think of anything better and more apropriot to use than my hand. Why use things like paddles, brushed and belts: I want to TEACH my daughter, not BEAT her!

You don't want your child to fear your hand. If they connect your hand with pain they won't want to be anywhere around you. Thats why you are suppose to use something else.

In Canada, if your caught using anything but your open flat hand on a child's bottom, you will be jailed. Look up Canadian Criminal Law Section 43 on the Internet.
You may spank ( if its reasonable ) from the age of two to age 12 only. The word reasonable is viewed by different judges in different ways. Canada treats no one ( even visitors ) different.
I can remember not long ago, reading in our paper, a USA father jailed here for spanking his 5 yr old daughter with his hand in an Ontario parking lot. So it is a dicey situation here to spank.
There are of course, much better discipline methods to use.
I am sure spanking will be banned as it is in many other countries here very soon.

I'm starting to wonder if you have an issue with 'spanking' thats 4 of your questions over 5 pages and they are all about spanking the child!

Personally couldn't agree more. You don't need anything more then your hand. We personally do them on the bare tush, to give a little more seriousness to the situation. I don't think i could personally ever use an object. However I'd never criticize those who do, it's there choice, and as lone as they don't leave marks, a spanking is a spanking
Good Luck

mom and father worldwide disagree on spanking. if your in a position to get a 7 year olds interest with a slipper, you have some thing going for you. i do no longer think of a few smacks with a wood spoon hurts something yet their delight the two. brush aside extension cords, belts, and so on, it relatively is abuse. in case you bypass away a bruise it relatively is abuse

I never hit my kid!! There are better ways to discipline your child such as take things away that they love and they don't get them back until they do what they are told!! Going to their room and staying there until you say they can come out is another good one! Grounding them for a week in cases of extreme punishment!! Why would you ever have to hit!! All you teach them is to lash out if they don't like something!! All I'm saying is if you want to TEACH there is no need to hit!! Who is it better for YOU!! Sorry but this hits home for me!! I know your not beating her but your not showing her anything except how to handle difficult situations by hitting! I wish people could see the light and stop hitting their kids!!

I think its a conection to hitting if you spank with your hand. when you use a paddle or whatever its more a spanking to the child. well thats my opinion.

I personally think it is sick to hit a child with an object.
How do you know how hard you are hitting if you are using an object? It can easily go to far.
