I would think twice about that. Many states have made spanking against the law. Even a parent can get in trouble for spanking. That is part of the Left’s strategy. No discipline will create a generation of wild children. Another tentacle of the Left’s destruction of the family.
Discipline does not require one to beat a child
Ha! I’ll testify that a little corporal punishment goes a long way. Is it “barbaric” in some way? Perhaps. But it is effective. I only needed it twice to get the message loud and clear that my parents were serious about their rules. Maybe it goes back to primitive instinct. Back to a time when mistakes were painful and possibly fatal. It is ingrained in us to avoid things that cause pain. Like hunting dangerous prey with a too short spear. Painful mistakes that if you survive them you don’t repeat. I think corporal punishment taps into that.
