Quote:The trouble is that they neglect something very basic, very simple, very obvious: each kid is an individual with individual needs and individual disciplinary requirements.
A "one size fits all" recipe will never work.
A book's guidelines will never fit with any particular kid.
This!
And there's the rub.

Quote: We aren't talking about the person who occasionally has to refer to a spanking now and then, we are talking about spanking used as corporal punishment.
That's exactly what I am talking about! What you're talking about is wrong. No doubt, and no argument. If you're using objects or leaving bruises you're harming the child. We're on the same page there I think. But some people on this thread are talking about ALL physical punishment in the same way. That's my point! It's not a black and white issue.
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
