Most of my friends who spank their kids have kids who repeatedly misbehave & run around like wild monkeys.
As far as I am concerned, spanking is a reaction of your own emotion, and that emotion is anger. You are angry at your childs behavior .. you are mad so you want to hit something.
This doesn't teach any great lesson, but hey, to each his own.
Positive reinforcement for good behavior seems to work for me. When my son is misbehaving I will say, "you know, it's crazy, you are so good but right now you aren't acting like it... weird?"
Logic tends to turn him around & that's the truth.
For the most part, if you tell kids they are good, they will be.
My parents never spanked me, and I never spank my son.
Seems like we tend to follow our parents examples based on the responses in this thread.
