But to act as though there is no logical or possible way to raise well-behaved children without spanking is just laughable. Completely laughable.

And the converse is just as true. To act as though there is no logical or possible way to raise well behaved children with spanking used as a form of punishment, is also laughable.

No it's not about luck. I hoped no one would take it that way. If you talk to your child and your child learns and obeys you without the spanking that's a good thing they learned from you. But for some children no matter how much or how long and hard the parent talks and explain that child will not listen. Or they may listen and refuse to obey.

Of course not. If you are lucky enough to have a child who doesn't need a spanking that's great. But when people call a few smacks to the behind abusive I don't agree. Especially when DCFS is filled with children who were beat across the face and sexually abused. People just drop the word "abuse" like it's nothing these days.

All children are not the same. To some children sitting in there room is enough to prevent them from misbehaving in the future. But to some others it is not. "But timeouts and verbal warnings always worked for me!" Yeah, but what about the other 50 million or so kids in the world?
