Captain Obvious here: We're looking for the people who weren't spanked but think it's a good idea--how many do you think we'll find if it's such a good idea?

I was never spanked or hit as a child (I'm female, 61) , was disciplined & raised properly in the large city of Miami, Fla. ,with no problems -I had a college education & career, now retired in the mountains of Western NC. I have two children now ages 28 & 30 - I NEVER spanked them and they are both happily married in fulfilling careers they love. (no grandchildren as of yet - hopefully they will someday raise their children the same way). I always used talk and give explanation from the very beginning to correct ill behavior or wrong doings. Although their elementary school exercised a paddle spanking remedy for misbehaviors , the administration was aware I was in total disagreement of it. Mine were never paddled. NOT that they were/are "perfect". (I still find moments to "scold" them, even as adults! LOL) I just believe there is a better way of showing love in disciplining children as they grow up than using physical harm or threats of it. I find it apalling that some parents spank or punish a child just for not knowing to touch something hot or getting in an innocent dangerous situation. And yet, I believe fully in our judicial system of prison sentences for law breakers and juvinelle detention centers, we must keep order - all goes back to their upbringing .
