Supreme Court Ruling: Spanking Children

Each kid is different, but I do believe in a good ol' ars whooping! lol

Spanking as discipline is not abuse. For the average offense as a kid I was sent to sit in corners, but I got spanked once or twice. It showed my parents were serious about it and I certainly never did the thing again. I never hated or feared my parents for it and understood that they weren't doing it because they were mean or enjoyed doing it. I turned out okay, and I think more of my peers could stand to have been disciplined when they were younger.

Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.

only if necessary, but not to the point of physical abuse.

Never spanked my son. There's my thoughts on the subject.

I was spanked a a child. Although, I really didn't need to be spanked. My dad scared me enough just by looking at me. I think each child I different and some could get by with a time out and maybe some need a spanking. When our son was growing up and misbehaved, he had to go to his room. That was a punishment to him because he loved being outdoors. And, yes he did get spanked probably 4-5 Times from my husband when he really crossed the line.
