I was spanked as a child..my mother used her hand until she broke one of her fingers because of a sea shell I had forgotten I had in my back pocket when I was 5...after that I had to go pick my own switch from outside...and whoa be unto me if I came back with a small one...I have great respect for my parents and never feared them..unless you count the..."my mom is gonna kill me if she finds out" thoughts you have as a teenager.
I have an 11 year old daughter...I have spanked her less times than she is old...I ALWAYS used my hand though because that way I know when its time to stop...when you use another implement as my mother did, you have a tendance to do it longer than needed, I found 3 swats of the hand to be sufficient (because I know if my hand is starting to hurt so is her little butt)...time out never ever worked for her as she very quickly learned to make a game out of it. Now that she is getting older things such as grounding, restricting activity work much better and I dont see the need to spank one that is the age she is now.
