I'm not here to judge anyone by their response but how many parents believe in smacking their children on the butt with a belt or paddle when they're bad? Growing up I had this done to me and always wondered if it's right or not and where other people stand on this issue.
A lot of the parents generation (40-60 years old) grew up getting spanked. I do not think that is beating your kid. They used to have paddles in school. I think it teaches discipline. I do not think it should be used all the time or in an incorrect manner but it is not abuse. People are so sensitive now that every little thing is over analyzed. However yes a paddle or belt can be misused like if a parent or guardian beat it all over the kids body until they bled or something like that...that is wrong. People that actually get beat will have bruises and scars in places they are not supposed to etc. Verbal abuse I think can be much much worse. Of course physical abuse can hurt more and is completely wrong but spanking with a paddle or belt I do not think is wrong if it is used correctly. I do not have kids but I have nannied and babysat and I was a kid lol and I am friends with younger parents. I have seen kids that are not disciplined and spoiled and that is more wrong to me than when a child is not learning his lesson and to spank them on the butt a couple times. I have known abused children/grownups and it is not the same thing. Sorry but that is just my opinion.
