Every kid is different. I do spank in extreme situations, especially ones that could have resulted my child getting hurt (like running out in the street after I said to STOP). I don't have to do it very often. I've found that losing a possession or a privledge usually has a greater effect.
However, I don't think there is anything wrong with people who decide not to spank. I do have a problem with people who decide to do NOTHING to discipline their children. They are doing their children a huge disservice.
