Spanking a kid saves not only the parents but them aswell... How? Ok an example: when your at a store and your kid ask you for something and you tell them no several times and not just that but they throw a fit and start throwing themselves on the ground... That's emberrasing it shows you have no control over your child now you can either take them to the restroom and give them a reason to cry or 2 wait until you get home spank them and let them know why you spank them... The key when spanking a child it needs to be done with no anger cause that's what lots of people do and takes them to beat up the child... Put them in the room once they are calm go in there talk to them and let them know what they did was wrong and its something they shouldn't be doing and always tell them you love them I do that with my daughter and it works great and she knows already there's no need to be going over and over the samething... You need to let the child know your the one in control not them cause one thing kids have is that they test the parent to see how far they can go or to find away to get out with something... Our kids are smart and they are always finding away to get away with anything... Not all kids are the same tho' some of them don't need to be spank they listen when you talk to them, but there's others that do needed once in a while... And ofcourse your not going to spank a child for every little thing they do depends on what it is sometimes they just need to be put in the room go in there talk to them, but hey remember your the parent and they're your responsability and they're under your control let them know next time they do it you will take action, but remember you always need to do what you promise them if you don't they will keep on doing whatever they want... So a good spanking putting them in the room going in there talk to them and tell them you love them trust me they will understand and they'll know better next time. ;)
