Only in the most extreme cases. Most kids do not get enough parental attention, and homes are no longer as secure and stable as they were in earlier generations.

@greenmountaingal not popular to say but sometimes they need a hard spanking

@Fgtyjhbndfdrgt Firm discipline works with most kids but it takes a lot more time and attention than many parents have these days. It's not so much about tough disciplinary methods, and more about clarity, firmness, and consistency.

@Fgtyjhbndfdrgt Kids can actually handle almost any kind of discipline (as long as it is not outright injurious) if it is consistent so they can know what to expect.

@greenmountaingal i would ignore everything except a hard spanking
