I was never spanked. I was held accountable through more creative and long-term punishments.

I don’t believe in it. My parents never believed in it. I have the same philosophy that they did...it’s a lazy way to punish a child that essentially teaches them hitting and physical pain are the only ways to correct behavior.

We were brought up to be respectful of others, thoughtful of our actions and that owning up to our mistakes was the only path to forgiveness.
