I think that is changing a faster than it seems. I see a lot people rejecting all or part of the punitive parenting they had as kids for the same reasons we do. A lot of parents use time out instead of spanking because that seems like a gentle and respectful approach to them. While I am not a fan of Super Nanny or Nanny 911, there is no getting around these women have changed a lot of how parents do things and spanking is something they very loudly oppose. I think there must be a even bigger shift in the Church at large or these experts would not be so loud. You don't fight battles that are not there, so they must think they are going to lose very soon.
