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 Some people see spanking as an outdated method of punishment or even child abuse, while others view a swat on the bottom as a parent's prerogative.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

Yeah, It "Works."

Thank you for teaching those parenting classes

Other than one quite traumatic experience as a child, I was spared from spanking, and am very grateful that there are groups that oppose this sort of abuse.
