I never Hit ,I spank ,and only on the rear
I have 3 grown kids
and 3 grandkids ,,and lots of kids I have raised
all very successful and all well mannered and respectful
and not a hitter in the bunch

I have actually spanked a child ,,not my own ,in the presence of a case worker

She said I know you are not ,,I said watch me
That child is 2 ,he has been told to stay out of that diaper bag by his Mom how many times since you have been sitting here ?

My kids were not in diapers at 2 either

I swatted it on the rear ,said NO NO sternly ,and the kid did not get in the diaper bag again ,,
My Daughter is raising one ,not her own
He can be put in time out every single day ,stand in the corner
toys taken ,,made to do chores ,,and still talk back and refuse to do as he is told

A trip to visit Papaw (and his Dad is 100% on board because he see's it works)
He gets 5 swats on the rear ,through pants and underpants
and for a month he us good as gold ,then he needs to be reminded ,

His brother was the same way ,,,the middle one only needed one lesson
he has been outstanding every since
He was sat down ,,told why he was being punished as they all are
asked if its unfair ,,everyone else gets one when they don't listen
they agree its fair and we proceed ,,10 whacks is the limit for something really bad

I have been investigated 8 times by DCF ,and never any wrong doing found
I have had a complete home study and found fit to place kids with until other arrangements can be made (I have helped a lot of Moms not lose their kids )
The one that did lose her kids ,needed to ,,she was raised to be a good girl
but she loved drugs more than her kids ,one died as a result of her negligence

I tell people all the time ,the proof is in the pudding
So me kids that behave as good ,and do as well as the kids I have raised
I will take your method under advisement ,,
I do however know a Lot of Moms who now say they wish they had listened to me
You don't have to keep spanking them
Once they know you don't make threats ,there is a consequence for your actions
Even a 2 yr old thinks twice before messing with No No's

But if I see someone abuse a child ,,I may go to jail
I was abused by my Mom ,disciplined by my Grandma ,,,I know the difference
