Re: NGJ New Addition to To Train Up a Child
Parenting can not be reduced down to 'spanking or not spanking'. If you 'spank' = beat your child you are not a good parent. If you 'don't spank' but ignore teaching your child basic manners and responsibility you aren't a very good parent either. That is one of the major flaws of Pearl etc, the simplify parenting down to 'hit them and it will all be fine' and that is not parenting.
