Spanking is incredibly effective, but it has to be done correctly. The best way to do that is to start kids when they are young. If they do something wrong, you spank them. You cannot spank in anger because that teaches them it is a way to act when you are angry.

You tell them no. If they dont listen, you tell them again. If it happens a third time you spank and tell them no again. You do this when they are young and you wont have to worry about it when they are older. They will associate you saying no with spanking.

It is a real contraversial subject because parents dont want to disipline with violence. But spanking isnt violence. It is punishment. There is a huge difference. My parents spanked when we were young, and after they had no problem with gaining respect from us.

My dad's brother didnt believe in spanking his kids, he believed in time out. I remember a time we were over at his house and my uncle told him to do something and he just walked away and said, "Fuck you dad, im leaving." Thats something I would never say to my dad.
