    Dear B-Scott, As a kid, I remember,that once in a year, my dad would purchase a new cane (stick) from a fair called as Bandra Fair which would be held in my country. Bandra is the name of a place .We (me and my brothers) who were all kids at that time would get a wip if we misbehaved anytime. But that is how we were brought up.My mummy once tied my hands to the window and kept me there in that position for 30 minutes. My fault was that it was school time but I was still playing, down stairs. I live in an apartment.

    Having said all this, I wish to inform you that I have loving parents and today I am a grown up adult.

    But in todays times, one can never use the age old technique of spanking the child with a cane etc. But you must not spare the rod completely. They have to be corrected accordingly.

    Tied your hands to a window for 30 minutes? This is what I'm talking about. Disciplining a child like is that is not normal - it's not acceptable.

    I dont agree with hitting children either, kids can be taught what is right and wrong without the need for violence, being grounded and not being able to see my friends worked extremely well for me as a kid.

    I got spankin's when I was a kid. I think they work fine, and there is no abuse in it as long as it is done properly.

    kids need a whoopin, just look how the children of today are acting, watch a jerry springer show on these nutty kids, or dr phill, you know what these kids need, they need that cane Anthony was talking about. With out discipline the kids are in control

    Parents should spice up their life by spanking each other and not their kids. But yet again... If your kid is trying to poke an electric socket with a fork and he does not get words then pain is the only thing he will understand.

    see my honest oppinion is spanking is validated when nothing else works. give warnings, when the warnings arent getting through, an effective spanking on the but with your hand. This is how i raise my 2 kids. I rarely have to spank them.

    Everything ought to be done in moderation, including discipling your kids.
