Will you ever smack your child?

Lets just say there was a valid reason. Can this be considered as abuse if it only happened once?

Spare the rod spoil the child..Yes, I have spanked my kids when needed and I have very well behaved children..Even, now that they are teen..We don't spank now because they have gotten big enough to take away things that are important to them ,such as technology, for punishment..No, I don't think reasonable physical discipline is abuse..

@Mrpauldavies We don't see the need to spank our teens..They respond better to the loss of technology, but they seldom need to be punished..They are very well behaved now, because that is how they have been raised to be..

@Mrpauldavies We are lucky in that we homeschool our kids .The loss of technology isn't a problem for us..Most subjects we teach are offline..I am not sure I am a great mom ,but with 6 children ranging in age from 33-13 years old, I do have some practice..🙂
