I have a 1 yr old daughter that I will never spank because she is my daughter but I will leave that to my wife to spank her because I can't bring myself to do that...but I do spank my little brother who is 21 years younger then I am...spanking is a healthy thing to teach the kid discpline and it is far different from hitting...hitting is something done out of anger/frustration/rage where spanking is to discipline and teach.....it all depends on the kid though
I have tried the time out thing and it has no effect on my little brother and spanking is starting to do the same but what I found out is that he doesn't like to be pinned against something...IE...lay him down against the back pillow of the couch and sit in front of him so my back is holding him between the pillow and myself and that makes him listen....may sound mean but when he grows out of spanking and timeouts its time to try new things....
Dont blame society for the outcome of kids, blame the parents......it all starts with the parents and society only helps contribute when the parent sux ass at parenting IMHO..
