The debate rages! Join us at Suite101 where we take on the thorny issue of spanking children!
Should we spank our children?
What is the definition of “spank?”
Is there some mystical line we cross when spanking a child that makes it a “violent offense?”
If it is okay to spank a child, when is it? At the age of 2, 5, 12?
Where do you spank a child? On it’s buttocks, hands?
Do you use anything to spank a child such as a wooden paddle?
The line of demarcation seems clear in our society, the parents who spank and those who don’t. Because spanking has come under such fire, those who spank are not quite as vocal at defending themselves as the non-spankers who toot the horn of superiority continually.
Take a look at the questions above and tell me what you think in the discussion below.
Tomorrow, I will tell you how I raised my children and on Tuesday, we will read together what the experts are saying!
