It is a punishment of last resort, for most parents.<br /><br />Parents do have to ask themselves, if they are spanking out of frustration, or if it is a calculated and effective response to the bad behavior.Robin Ghttp://blommi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342247537813392751.post-46124940418343798742009-12-12T13:50:42.310-05:002009-12-12T13:50:42.310-05:00Thanks for all the input!Thanks for all the input!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692002093725293884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342247537813392751.post-12276870272964530032009-12-12T11:38:48.760-05:002009-12-12T11:38:48.760-05:00Josh never received a spanking.

Matt was maybe 2 1/2 and we would have Dennis come over and play. Dennis was a year older. For some reason Matt would hit Dennis for no reason. I did time outs etc. The third time it happened I took Matt in our bedroom and spanked his bottom. He looked at me and said "that hurt" and I said "that is how it feels to Dennis when you hit him". Matt never hit Dennis or anyone else again. I personally feel spanking should be a last resort. I prefer redirecting, timeouts or taking away privledges (ie no video games etc).

That being said, my 2 year old does defy me at times and it warrants 1 or 2 small swats on the tush. She does things like running away from me on purpose after I tell her to come here (and not out of fun) or refuses to go to bed. I can differentiate between childish behavior and outright disobedience :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483641233177919179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342247537813392751.post-52626471745484162112009-12-12T10:20:53.555-05:002009-12-12T10:20:53.555-05:00I don't spank overall as I personally feel it ...I don't spank overall as I personally feel it teaches my children it is okay to hit another person, however, I am not perfect and if there is a HUGE danger or safety issue I may tap their bum.
