Explanation:
You have probably heard the expression, "Spare the rod, spoil the child." Do you agree with it? Perhaps you were spanked as a kid. Was it appropriate? Some people see spanking as an outdated method of punishment or even child abuse, while others view a swat on the bottom as a parent's prerogative. Where do we draw the line when it comes to disciplining our children?

No Evidence Supports the Spanking Hysteria
EVidence
Rosemond claims that there is no evidence of the negative effects of spanking. Yet every single national pediatric, psycholoical, psychiatric and medical professional association in the entire western world disagrees with him. Don't take my word for it - look up what they say online. Are all these orgnaizations stacked with individuals with idealogical axes to grind? Or might Rosemond have an ideological axe to grind?
