Is spanking a correct form of discipline?

Answer 1

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.

That depends completely on the relationship. If both individuals enjoy the activity together, then it is good for the relationship.
