I will. Spare the rod spoil the child. I got spankings (the rare few times I needed them) and I am fine. I am a college student, going back this year...I don't think I am crazy. Oh and I recall the singer P!nk saying she was a bad child and is grateful for the spanking discipline she got, otherwise she'd have gone down another path. Not every study is accurate.
There was a study about weed damaging brain cells (not that I smoke it) and one about classical music making you smarter...both were proven to be myths. I am sick of all these parents now, being too lenient. Do you think that is good? They let their kids smoke, have sex, disrespect them, HIT them, scream and holler in public, etc. Teach them that YOU are in charge and as a parent, you have every God given right to be. You have more life experience than them of course they may not understand every form of discipline or restriction you put on them even upon an explanation. Look at it this way, say you have tried every form of discipline/help there is, except spanking and if all else failed, what would you do? Try what works and if it does, (and it isn't illegal) use it. We need to stop confusing necessary discipline for abuse.
DISCIPLINE THEM EFFECTIVELY SOME HOW! We don't need anymore criminals than we have now, be a parent. Thank you.

A study from the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that physical punishment to discipline children, has a strong association with "...increased risks of mental and personality disorders, as well as drug and alcohol abuse."
Though the article points out that spanking does not cause mental health disorders, researchers claim there is a strong correction. The results "send a strong message that spanking should never be used on a child," states Abel Ickowicz, psychiatrist-in-chief at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

These anti-spanking studies routinely characterize spanking as abusive. If I'd had my juvenile bottom warmed when I clearly deserved it, I can't help thinking I would've taken a straighter path towards realizing my potential. Actions & Consequences; I didn't have an easy time with that. i needed a few good spankings and I never got them.
There is a deffinate line between disciplne and abuse.
Spankings are givin by cool-headed parents atempting to instill dicipline, ethics, and integrity into their children.
Abuse is given by angry, out of control, and otherwise irresponsible parents.
Respect, not hate.
Maybe there are kids who are more susceptible and are not so aware of what's going on and misinterpret things and that leads them to psychological issues. Or maybe they're beaten with violence (which is way different from being spanked).
This is not 1 + 1 = 2. Studies like this can only establish a correlation between two variables, but the whole thing is much more complex and many factors are involved.
some kids need spanking some others need different forms!
I was spanked As a child and I'm fine (as fine as one can be these days lol)
King James Version
This idea, that corporal punishment is bad, is in great part responsible for the deteriorating morals of society.
But I think we all know the difference between a spanking and a beating.
