I agree in spanking children, but I do try other ways to discipline my 5 year old some first. Children will try you, it a way for them to obtain their independence. Although I'm not having the falling out in the store, some parents go to far in spanking their children in public, which makes all spanking look bad. We have all heard the ghetto azz parent in the store cursing their child out and not spanking but boxing their children. I agree that discipline starts at home, but spanking is not the only way to discipline your child. I found that my son responds better to me taking things away from him, like game boy, no computer or no tv, instead of spanking. one time I asked him do you want a spanking , he said yeah. Of course I gave him a spanking to remember, but I realized that the spanking thing may not be working.
Also kids have a bigger fear for their fathers than mothers. All I have to do is tell my son I'm calling my ex-husband and he balls.
