my parents always spanked me with a big wooden spoon. It hurt like hell, but I learned my lesson. I think its good to whip your kids, just as long as they know that you're only doing it as a punishment. It's not abuse unless you're actually hurting the kids (hurting as in damaging them.)

you're supposed to discipline your kids, not punish them. punishing doesn't work because they don't know why what they did was wrong or what the right thing to do is

Disipline, eh? Yes. I will disipline them. The worse they do it, the harder it will be.

I have a son and he doesn't listen even if we smack him. He just goes on doing what we told him not to unless we put him in time out. So no we don't spank because he just laughs and he's one. Time out works better.

There are other ways other than spanking and beating that get kids to behave and respect you, only the good non lazy parents know how to do this. Spanking doesnt work, just look at 99% of people in prison or jail were spanked, plus most everyone I know who was spanked turned out horrible, did drugs, etc..

Thats the stupidest thing I ever heard, you want to hurt your children? Spanking is hitting you ignorant ass hole, the worse they do the harder it will be ? Do you even hear yourself? Thats sad and wrong, you plan to spank your kids before you even know their personalitys , let alone if they respond to some other form of discipline - and yes other things do work, good parents know this

Since when is whipping/spanking a kid not hurting them? You are physically hitting them causing pain, so yes you are hurting them you dumb ass.

I was never spanked and neither was my sister.  Basically when an adult uses force it does not change their behavior but teaches them that adults will hit them so it becomes a trust and fear issue.  It also is evidence that a parent does not have the brain power or patience to handle behavior in a more effective and non intimidating way.

So, I don't ever see the need to spank a child.
