Can spanking Mere the Future of a Kid?

When, I was still a child my Mother or Father also spank me when I do made mistake and they are just telling me that you knew why you are spank to let me remind on that as long as it is not beating after all, That is different thing as well and now I do have a child if i can still hold myself I only tell a daughter of mine that it is bad and count unto her from 1 to 3 but if the thing she is doing would hurt her like for example she wanted to play on the "lighter" and i do remind her already but she still insist then that is the time I spank the hand of my Daughter.

I do believe in spanking but not abusing. There is a BIG difference. I was spanked as a child and have no ill effects. I have spanked my kids (rarely) and they still love me. Spanking is not always the answer. Sometimes other forms of punishment are more effective, such as time out, restriction, etc. The bible says "spare the rod, spoil the child." Basically, if you don't correct you child in some form you will end up with a spoiled brat. But like I said earlier that doesn't mean abuse. If you can't spank a child without bruising or abusing, then you shouldn't spank. It's all just a personal preference.
