personally i'm in favor of flicking them on the nose or spraying them with water

or maybe get a laser pointer and get them to chase it around the house for a bit so they use up all their energy and have less issues with acting out

I've posted it here before and I'm a phone so km not going to do it right now but research points to exactly what those dang liberals are saying, namely:
-spanking leads children to have trust issues
-spanking leads children to view violence as acceptable
-spanking often leads to full-blown abuse, accidentally or otherwise.

spanking is much more for the parent than it is for the child. Venting rage etc. lol

outdated methods. Get with the psychology textbooks for learning alternative methods of guiding behavior which are not as ineffective and possibly have unintended side effects

There has to be higher levels of punishment to elevate to if kids don't respond to less severe forms of correction.

No one wants to hurt their kids, but incentive to behave need to exist. As long as the wounds you give them will heal in a reasonable amount of time, they get more benefit that harm from corporal punishment.

I was spanked. As was my cousins.  We are successful ppl of society now.
I will slap a bum if i have to when I have kids.

Read through the first few pages. I see no one has brought up canning?  Which was done to ALL of your parents one time or another growing up in the school system of the olden days.
