I was a little apprehensive about posting on this thread because it brought back some very bad memories as a child. I think if I were in a position, I would not use spanking as the first means of discipline. I am an intelligent individual and believe that I may be capable of communicating with my child[ren] without the use of a hand, a belt, extention cord etc. I think that there are times in which spanking maybe necessary but I wouldn't condone it to the point where I would have put fear into my kids. That is where the line has been crossed. I do know that I am human, I am my mother's child and I will be prone to make mistakes but communication would be my first step.
