Kids need rules and discipline. I'm alll for time outs and losing privileges. Spanking? Heck no! First, we can use that as a fancy word, but the real word for it is hitting. There is no reason to hit your child. If that is what a parent has to do to get respect, I'm very sorry, but something is wrong somewhere. And when your child hits another child, what will you do then? Spank them? "You hit little Johnny and hitting is wrong, so come here and I will hit you." Whatevs. There are ways to raise a child without causing them pain.
