Spanking compulsives will want to avoid this article.
"But those debates, Dr. Sanghavi says, steal attention from the real issue-giving parents as many methods of firm, loving discipline as possible. "We're all striving for parental authority," he says. 'But it doesn't come from physical strength, and children know that. Authority comes from having emotional and psychological strength and control, and the ability to reason with kids. The more discipline skills that parents have in their toolbox, the less they'll resort to spanking.'" http://www.parents.com/articles/moms...160.jsp?page=1 |

"But the majority.61 percent of the parents who responded to our poll.say baloney. Five percent of these parents describe themselves as regular spankers; 56 percent say they spank occasionally. Everywhere, they point out, are examples of children who need a good pop on the bottom, and they roll their eyes when the zealots describe spanking as child abuse. What's really abusive, these parents argue, are mothers and fathers who don't discipline at all." Doan On 19 Aug 2005 wrote: Spanking compulsives will want to avoid this article.
