		<description>I agree that an occasional spanking can be an effective form of discipline.  Having said that, I do believe other form and/or avenues of discipline should be tried first.  If the child continues to misbehave or be willfully disobedient, I think a spanking can be used.  I do think it is important that spankings not be given when the parent is losing control, is just fed up, and wallops the child.  There is a great debate about spanking at www.opposingviews.com/questions/is-spanking-an-acceptable-form-of-discipline.  Experts from both sides weigh in and make some interesting points on the topic.</description>

		<description>Honestly, I can&#039;t say yet if I have a solid answer to this question... I was raised being spanked (but not as much as my brother) while my hubs was not... but like you, we&#039;ve agreed that we will try to talk conflicts out first before deciding on harsher punishments

I also think spanking has its merits, when done the &#039;right&#039; way, at the &#039;right&#039; time and at the &#039;right&#039; amount... and is very helpful  in disciplining very young children (who actually don&#039;t have enough life experience yet to really grasp consequences and accountability)</description>

		<description>i&#039;m all for no spanking. i did however grow up having received a light spanking several times in my childhood.  it didn&#039;t &quot;damange&quot; me in anyway but it surely didn&#039;t help.  i will try to expound more about it in my blog.

thanks for sharing! :D</description>
