> I'm not saying you should spank your kids. I'm only questioning whether it actually causes any problem If you're actually interested in an answer here, it's pretty easy to find people for whom it did cause problems. If you say it works great in your family, fine. For you to extrapolate and say it's okay for everyone is not fine. In my own experience, my parents reached for violence instead of taking the time to connect and understand. Now I know I cannot trust them to listen or to take time to try to understand where I'm coming from. It is super easy to find people whose lives were greatly negatively impacted by domestic violence, especially coming in the form of "loving punishment." That can fuck a person up even more, leading them to believe violence is a part of love.
