Spanking kids can cause long-term harm - Canada study - Reuters -

Bull S**T - Putting people in prison can cause long-term harm.
Prohibition policies can cause long-term harm.
Government policies can cause long-term harm.

Appropriate disipline, that can sometimes include spanking, can prevent long term harm.

Have any of you been in a public school in the last ten years. Lack of discipline, I am not talking about beatings, a swat that carries through to connect a consequence with an action when needed before a child becomes out of control.

Yes I know that I may not always be politically correct but . . .

I am not talking about bruises or welts and we have never spanked in our house as my wife is a woose.

I got spanked twice by my father as I was trying to grow-up (I failed but hey I tried ) and that was all I needed. It was both times for something serious and I learned to think about my choices. I could do things that I knew my father would disapprove of and take the consequence if he found out or decide that it wasn't worth the risk.

Yes I agree that sometimes there are people that go overboard but some people go overboard about everything including a total lack of discipline in children.

Here is a novel idea why not teach parenting in public schools. If you don't want spanking teach young adults about raising well adjusted children not wild animals that give teachers nervous breakdowns.

Just my opinion.
