You may select more than one option on the poll. My kids are grown, but I applied the rod of correction when needed. (Switches and belts, and palm of hand) When they were toddlers, I gave them a couple of swats during their fits to get their attention. I did not use other forms that I have known people to use (bolo paddles, hairbrushes, etc.) IMO, it works. I never had problems with my kids thinking it was okay for them to hit anyone else, either. If I got a call from a teacher saying they had misbehaved (VERY RARE) they got a switching when they arrived home. I also signed the paper giving the school permission to paddle. (Never happened) What are your opinions on corporal punishment , and how old it too old to punish in this manner?

Just to let you know that the mods will probably close this thread as Spanking is one of the One Stop Thread topics. But before they do, just one comment: quote: ORIGINAL: bluestone I never had problems with my kids thinking it was okay for them to hit anyone else, either. Actually they may think it's okay, they might just keep it well hidden. We can't know what other people are or aren't thinking. [8\|]
