discipline

I believe in spanking little kids. I do believe it's a form of discipline. I don't agree with beating little kids.

depends on how old they are and what they have done. Also depends on wether or not this is the first time they have done the bad behavor. But yes I do but not to often as it will lose it's effectivness. and not to the point of leaving marks.

I think spanking is okay as long as it's not abusive and the child understands why he's in trouble.

I don't agree with it..

I do not spank...What works best for me (which does not mean that it works best for everyone), but I take away their prized possession. For my son that is his video game. In his mind it is worse then being spanked.

I think that sometimes spanking can be needed. When there is no other way to get the message across to a child, they need to see that they cannot misbehave because you are in charge. While I wouldn't want my children to fear me and would much rather have their respect, I do not want to be one of those parents who has kids running all over being brats and not being punished. If I ever have children, they'd probably do something to deserve a spanking eventually. However, I think that some methods are extreme. My parents liked to make sure I would remember what I did the next day. I think making your kid get bruised up and hurt isn't right. They might deserve it, but there are other ways to make them remember what they did.
