How Do You Spank Your Kids?

Giving a spanking does not need to be your first option or reaction. Some misbehavior can be handled successfully with other discipline methods. When other methods fail or the misbehavior is serious or repetative, then taking them across the knee (younger tykes) or bending them over (older ones) is effective.

Dear mc,

Would you be willing to post the comments that people gave in your question about frequency? It seemed at age 5, it was nearly everyday because it was the only way the child would listen. I was surprised to see the numbers at 8-11, because they seemed good at that time. But it was necessary to use it again regularly at ages 12-15.

I greatly apologize for the long delay in replying. I would love to chat more about this topic. What implement would/did you use at different ages? I will post some of the responses in the next message in this thread. Thanks, mc.mbjones

As a child only a spanking would work. For seiouse offenses a brush or spoon was used. I was the kind of kid tat nothing else would work
