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.

Beating a kid causes problems. Spanking without explain why or without a good reason causes problems. Lack of discipline causes problems. Spanking a kid for a good reason and explaining that reason causes discipline in kids when nothing else works.
And for those of you who say there is always a better method, no, sometimes nothing else will work.
Just look at the kids today. Something tells me the naughty chair and being your kids best friend isn't working
1. BS study.
2. There are two kinds of spanking parents, one lets their kid get away with temper tantrums when they are young, and ends up NEEDING to spank their kid all the time, including in public.
The other type evenhandedly disciplines their kid young and employs the "wait-till-we-get-home-and-I-... method and at the first sign of trouble, e.g. gets a good paddling on the first temper-tantrum.
The first type I can see POSSIBLY causing issues later, but really only because of discipline issues the parents themselves had. The second type's child will be much easier to handle through the adolescent and teen years.
I understand why people want those short term highs to get away from their problems, but later the problems multiply. Basically it isn't worth it in the long run. I believe you may have been abused, not spanked and some parents do not know the difference. Or perhaps they spanked you when another method could have worked for you. I am sorry if this is long and preachy or if I offended you. That isn't my intention.
No offense taken, my mental illness will never go away.......
