Nope. It isn’t. And when done properly once or twice (ie FOLLOW THROUGH WHEN YOU SAY YOU WILL DO IT) the mere mention of it is enough for most kids to get in line.
My parents spanked me less than the fingers on one hand. They didn’t have to. If they said stop or else, I knew they would. So they didn’t have to.
This is why spanking works. My parents didn’t want to spank me. They were much happier the threat of being spanked worked.
Exactly. As opposed to the approach the elites want the sheeple to take today, which is allow everything and do nothing, turning the sheeple’s kids into nutcases, drug addicts, criminals, etc.
Years later, the kids frequently turn on their elderly parents and beat and rob them or generally take from them and give them enormous headaches. Many of us see this firsthand, children becoming criminals and wastecases.
Proverbs 13:24 “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”
I am an old timer going back to the great depression days. I do recall several spankings I got from my mother. Looking and thinking back to those times I would say that I deserved each spanking. In particular I learned and carried to my late years the facts that in life there are taboos and behavior to be honored. I tend to believe that many misbehaved boys that went to fight in WWII and some like my brother who was killed on Okinawa had felt the paddle or switch. My two sons have felt the paddle or belt a few times and have come away as loving and caring men. I have to admit that times have changed with so many societal gurus preaching ‘let the child run wild because they will get beyond such behavior’ and we will be making a lot of money in the meantime. Paddling and spanking of course needs to be done with loving intentions. I had a very loving mother and my sons know/knew I loved them by so many other shared activities.
