@LaSenoraG I do agree that spanking doesn't automatically equal abuse. There is such a thing as perspective. The problem is once you start down that road it is very easy to lose control of the situation.

@NeverDoubt1 ah, the eternal debate. lol My sister rarely got spanked, i on the other hand everything i could do, i did and spanking was a last resort. Discipline and ABUSE are two different things
-
@GlamourGirlMejor30 In fact no kids need to be spanked. ;)
-
@Rinsuki I'd question the maturity of the parents who resort to hitting. ;)
-
@Supersneed1000100 In fact no one needs it. ;)
-
Resorting to hitting means the parent has lost control and needs to back away from the situation. If you're angry enough to hit, you're not being rational.

@Rinsuki It's nice that you perceived that spanking worked for you, who knows the real truth. But lets not make snap judgements that our perceptions apply to the whole population. Lets also not say that there are circumstances where a human is "required" to be hit. That logic is very hard to follow. Spanking has proven to cause damage. If you want to run the risk of harming your neice and nephew, so be it. But do not justify and rationalize your actions with the metaphor of it being required.

@iTmoneyy Congrats on getting into higher education. What we need to consider here is that you may not be in college and respect people simply because you were spanked. It's very difficult to make that correlation. Research hasnt shown that hitting people makes them respect you more and fosters higher intelligence. In fact, research has proved the opposite. So being that you are in college, read a little bit on issues and lets not take everything are parents engrained in is as truth.

Not everyone needs to be spanked. Some kids could use a lecture, some need an ass kicking, but parents seem to confuse who needs what. I'm only 16 and I can notice that, so why can't a parent who is twice my age?
@mamatude33, Dr. Phil isn't going to sugar coat anything for these people. Their abusing their children and they need to know why it's wrong and why it isn't working and to stop the cycle of abuse. If they keep going down the road their going with their kids, the kids will be taken away and they will grow up with even more emotional problem than what they already have. This is the main problem with society. They think how they were raised it will work with all kids. All kids are different.

"Our kids have no respect for our new home".......FUCKING DUH!!!!!! Hey, here's a question for you, did it ever occur to you that your children show you no respect because you DON'T MODEL RESPECT FOR THEM?!!
