spanking

Post by vliot » Wed Aug 31, 2005 9:35 am

I just read the article on spanking. I was spanked as a child by an angry mother and a reluctant father who would do it to comply with his wife's request. My siblings and I toughened up until we thought we did not care anymore. I have spanked my oldest children,who are young adults now, especially my oldest son. I realize now that I was seriously abusive. My take on it? Spanking never worked on me, nor did it work on my kids other than to create more trauma in their life. Worst of all, the spankings that I got or that I gave always came out of anger which I also realize now is a bad place to come from when disciplining a child. My conclusion? One is never too old to learn. Never give up.
