YES! A good, old fashioned spanking is a time tested, time honored, effective tool for raising healthy, happy, obedient, well behaved, well mannered, and respectful children. Do so lovingly and calmly, but also soundly and memorably. The occasional pants down bottom warming has worked for millennium, and don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise.
Yes, spanking is a correct form of discipline. Spanking means : the act of slapping on the buttocks, and is usually administered by a parent on their child when the child has behaved in an unruly manner that is undesirable by the parent. The parent then punishes the child by repeatedly smacking the child's bottom with their hand or another device (wooden spoon, paddle, strap, etc.) in a manner so that it is painful for the child's bottom. This is to correct a child's misbehaviour and the usual effect after a spanking is that the child does not repeat the undesired behaviour again for fear of experiencing the pain of the spanking again. Parents may spank on a clothed bottom or bare bottom (it is up to the parent) and use whichever device (hand, paddle, wooden spoon, etc.) they feel will best correct their child's behaviour. When a spanking is done correctly, meaning on a child under 12 years old, and leaving no marks such as bruises or welts (except for a red/pink bottom, which is unavoidable and permittable), it is not considered abuse on the child and teaches the child a good lesson and prevents them from repeating the undesired behaviour, therefore making them safer (if the undesired behaviour caused unsafety for them, for example running out onto a busy street, which they will now not repeat because of the threat of another spanking) and/or a better citizen (if their misbehaviour was, for example, stealing a candy in a store, which they will now not repeat because of the threat of another spanking). Many believe that giving their child a few minutes' pain and a tender botttom for the remainder of the day on which the child was spanked is a decent act for insuring their childs' safety and/or correct behaviour, and therefore choose to spank their kids, and so it is considered a correct way to discipline your child.

How a person chooses to discipline is completely up to them. They may choose to discipline in a way that no one else agrees with, but the full form might be spanking, grounding, or something else.
Spanking is a form of discipline that involves a controlled open-handed strike to a child's buttocks, whereas hitting typically refers to using physical force to strike a child in a more uncontrolled or aggressive manner. Spanking is a controversial form of discipline that some may view as a more acceptable method compared to hitting, which can be seen as abusive or harmful.

Spanking as a form of discipline is legal in all 50 states in the United States. However, there are guidelines and limitations in place regarding the use of corporal punishment, and some states have specific regulations around its use in schools. It's important to be aware of the laws in your specific state regarding spanking and discipline.
Oh honey, there are plenty of videos out there discussing the pros and cons of spanking. Just search for titles like "Spanking: To Swat or Not?" or "The Great Spanking Debate: Discipline or Damage?" But remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, so take those videos with a grain of salt and use your own judgment.
Discipline them with time-outs and spanking.
I, being catholic, know that children are often disciplined by spanking, time outs, etc.
Spanking therapy are regular therapy sessions where spanking is used as a tool to reinforce positive behaviour. Spanking therapy is only effective when the one receiving the therapy has expressed a need for it. This need is felt by a small percentage of people, and spanking therapy should not be used by those who have not expressed such a need.
It depends on what you did and your age. It also depends on who is doing the spanking. I, personally, do not believe that anyone other than parents should spank a child. A good test of whether spanking would be effective would be to ask you which form of discipline you would choose if you could. If you say being grounded, chances are that you are still of an age where spanking would be effective. If you would rather take the spanking, then chances are you have become too old to be spanked and grounding is the way to go. Spanking is not wrong or immoral. It does not do mental or emotional harm to the child. Children learn obedience and respect from such discipline. However, spanking should never be confused with a beating. What you are spanked with should be considered. I would recommend parents not use their hands, which should always bring love and comfort. Neither would I use anything that could break the skin. Spanking should not leave bruising in any form and should never be on any part of the body except the buttocks or palm of the hand. The spanking should be in private and not cause embarrassment or humiliation, such as spanking in the nude or in front of viewers. If parents are consistent in both their love and discipline, spanking is rarely, if ever, necessary, but again, it all depends on you.
There is no information about the particular discipline methods Jon Gosselin uses with his children. It is unlikely that he uses any form of corporal punishment (including spanking)
