People who are pro spanking or think the Bible calls for it, can you explain why you think it is the way to make kids behave?
I am just getting from posters than spanking makes your kids behave. It certainly didn't work with my brothers.
Some kids it works on. Some kids it doesn't.
If it works, it's a tool that can be used to instill discipline. If it doesn't, it's a waste of time.
And that is my point.
Spanking doesn't mean you have well disciplined kids.
Amen. It's all about discipline which does not automatically mean spanking.
My cousins were spanked all.the.time. My siblings and I (while we were spanked on occasion) turned out to be much more productive in society. We've never been to jail (they have) etc.
We personally are a no spanking house. Mainly because when we check ourselves in the moments that we would it's all because of our anger. Not truly because our 3 year old is acting like a fool. We have found gentler methods that encourage listening and obedience. But he still knows who is boss, I assure you.
