I read this article in Parenting magazine today. If you don’t want to read this whole article, it is discussing spanking and the debate between "experts" and parents who spank. One point that is made in the article is about what exactly "spanking" is. It points out that according to Websters dictionary, spanking is basically using an open hand to hit on the butt. One thing that is said in this article is that there is no hardcore, scientific proof that an occasional spanking causes any emotional damage to a child later in life. This article is the first one that I have seen that doesn’t just flat out tell parents that they shouldn’t spank cause they will screw up their kids for life. It actually even says that their is no scientific study that proves that children who were spanked occasionaly turned out more violent later in life. Any opinions on this article?
I just want to say that I am not judging anyone who does or doesn’t spank. I feel that it varies from parent to parent and child to child, and as long as it is not beating a child, and is a swat on the rear or on the hand, then every parent has the right to decide what works for them. It does bother me, when I hear a mom (or dad) put down other parents who choose to spank, like one of my answers who said that we who choose to spank are "odd". Why does that one choose in a parents choices on how they raise their kids, make them a bad parent or "odd"? Having a different outlook on parenting from others, does not always mean you are a bad parent. To each his own I say.
