The few times I spanked it was a quick swat to snap a kid out of a bad state and get them to change focus. The blame lies on me for not being prepared with a better strategy.

I was spanked as a kid. I never spanked my daughters and didn’t yell much at them. But when I did raise my voice, they

Not trying to stir the pot, but I can’t wait to hear the line of logic here

Well, would you say there's a difference between making out and licking the inside of someone's mouth?

Alpi Gusto

Go say yes to everything. Never tell them no. Never discipline. 👍

Interesting responses. Kids observing an angry parent on occasion is healthy

Only when getting out of timeout - very rare for us, fortunately.
