I work with toddlers. I am not allowed to use corporal punishment at my job. I have to use positive discipline techniques. If I can effectively manage the behavior of 20 kiddos on a daily basis without resorting to smacking or spanking, I think anyone can. To me, spanking and other forms of corporal punishment are lazy parenting. It teaches kids that you are willing to escalate punishment to that point. We have one child at my work who is spanked. Because she is spanked at home, it is sometimes difficult to discipline her because she is expecting that discipline can be raised to punishment.
I'll say more later, but I'm off to positively discipline children.
