w/o looking further into what other people are saying so others may have said this already, but i believe that there are better methods of teaching children what not to do and better yet, the correct ways to do things.
spanking is a form of punishment. you add something (hitting the bottoms) to take away bad behavior. it may stop the current behavior, but not show the child what you want them to do.
i'm a fan of supporting them when they are doing things right. compliments will shape children to the actions you want out of them.
no i'm not a behaviorist.
