Spanking "works"
I come from a punitive background. Both Mom and Dad spanked all of us kids growing up. So, I'm not sure how to respond to this idea, as set forth by some of my punitive family members and friends, that "spanking works." I have heard from several people that they spank because it "works" and nothing else will "work" with certain types of kids with specific temperaments.
I'm not trying to argue with people or win them over I know when to pass the bean dip, thanks to you lovely ladies here But I do want to work out, mostly for myself, how to respond to such claims...I just don't know what to say. Part of me thinks the operative word is "works," and I need to hear others' thoughts.
