Spanking children?

Question

Why do ppl LOVE  to fly off the handle when someone suggests spanking a child after they did something wrong? I am not saying it's ok to spank it always, just someimes they need it cuase nothing else gets through. I read an aswer you said that when you spank ur child they turn into bullies and agressive ppl NOT TRUE my parents were very strict w/me and I didn0t turn unto a bully or aggressive person, and I know TONS of kids who are bullies and grownups that are just plain mean and THEIR parents NEVER SPANKED THEM.. just put them in a corner or negotiated and used all the new psico crap. And please before everyone starts knocking me, remeber I said not ALWAYS ok to spank a child just in certain situations. Some kids need it others don't.

WELL SOME ONE WHO THINKS LIKE ME ..WELL DONE....when i was growing up i got the odd smack on the *** but honestly when kids do things wrong they no they in trouble from the outset..gee i know i did..and i seamed to turn out o.k....the trouble these days is that there are two many people stepping in to tell you what you can and can't do when bringing up your own kids..and the laws these days don't help either...YES some kids are abused and hit for no apparent reason but the parents that are trying to bring there kids up truly knowing right from wrong shouldn't be penalised for giving them a slap on the behind if it is the last resort....

I believe in spanking, but I also believe it depends on the child. I never spanked unless I honestly believed my kids knew the difference but opted to make the unwise decision.

I won't knock you. You know your child. Just make sure you know the law also.

Spare the rod and spoil the child! A swift smack on the butt never hurt me any and I grew up to be a productive part of society and a nice person! There were times I deserved it! I think society has become ridiculous regarding kids and discipline there is NO discipline anymore and we are creating  generations of self absorbed selfish brats. I have 2 kids and one is ADHD, time out, rewards, lectures never worked but sometimes a swat got his attention.

I believe yes they should (NOT BEAT THEM AND ON BUTT ONLY) Other kinds of punishments should be there too. Or else they just say oh well I will take my spanking the bully stuff I belive only comes from people who were beaten 3 swats on the butt never hurt anyone

I see nothing wrong in spanking a child as a means of punishment provided it's done out of love and not a sexual thing

you are right...i'm agree with you..a child that never been properly taught will become negative person someday when they grew up. so, spanking or strict parents are appropriate.

I have a great 15 y/o daughter. Never laid a hand on her, never absolutely. She's great. I myself suffered some spanking from my parents, but decided not to do it to her. All you need is love.
