Explanation:

Is Spanking an Acceptable Form of Discipline?

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 Some people see spanking as an outdated method of punishment or even child abuse, while others view a swat on the bottom as a parent's prerogative.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?

Regarding Comment

Spanking is not the actual punishment

Giving Warnings

I agree completely. In most cases a child has a warning also, its not as if a parent just loses control after a kid does or says something inappropriate. Most parents iniate a countdown like "one. . . two. . ." or warn them "you better stop." When I was a little kid and was throwimg a temper tantrum my mom would always tell me "you better stop this behavior before I get to three." Then she would start counting and it would work everytime and I would stop when she got to two.
