| I am so ALL SET with spanking. Look up the modern day research on the topic - it is pointless and counter-productive. |

| I choose this choice because I do use it, it is not the first resort when it comes to disciplining but used correctly (never in anger or to hurt the child) I feel that it is a useful tool. Look I know this is a very unpopular practice but along with talking to my child and time outs I feel that it works. |

| If I try to disipline my children in other ways over and over and that does not work, than yes, sometimes a spanking finally works. Usually just a little swat-enough to get their attention, like"hey, I'd better start listening" is enough. |

| I honestly didn't like all the choices here...I wouldn't say spanking is the ONLY way to go, but I do feel it works. There is a HUGE difference between spanking for discipline and abuse. The problem for some kids these days is that they don't respect their parents, their elders, or themselves for that matter. Spanking shows who's boss. Kids are not cognitively able to "think" about what they did wrong, however, they ARE able to associate a certain behavior with an unpleasant experience. Time out and taking away toys is sometimes not enough. When was the last time someone touched a hot stove twice? I'm not saying to burn your kids, but you get the point...."If I do X behavior, I get spanked. I don't like getting spanked, so I won't to X behavior anymore." |

| I believe in spankings, but not all the time. I believe you should try other methods before spankings. But! When all else fails and you see that their aware of there actions and just keep continuing to do them for what ever reason, then a spanking is needed, appropiate to age of course. So yeah, I can say that I believe in spanking, not beatings. |

| The choices here are not enough,but a little spanking here and there works when all else fails, don't spare the rod and spoil the child. |

I found that spanking is most effective with my son. He really doesn't like it, and I only do a light swat on the butt. I always give him to the count of 3 to correct himself, which is sometime a fast count and sometimes slower depending on the situation. But 3 always results in a swat, and I feel the consistancy is the thing that is the most impotant. Sometimes he crys or wimpers, but he usually starts before I ever touch him:)
I use time outs too, or takeing things away which also works in different situations, but he responds best to the 1-2-3-spank, which rarely gets past 2 anymore! |

| I believe that sometimes when you really need to get a message across - like a safety matter it is ok to spank . But just a swat to grab there attention nothing beyond that. And when you dont spank yours kids as a regular punishment this most certainly will get their attention when it really matters. |
