Study finds that a spanked child may be a better adult....(link)

I was spanked as a kid...not a lot but I was. I remember the wooden spoon more though.

i was spanked on the butt with a wooden spoon but only a couple of times per year or so and just hard enough to get my attention. i think it was good -- nm - zork Jan 6, 07:45 2

parents had a wooden picnic basket slat they used. Was more noise than pain but worked. -- nm - Capstern Jan 6, 07:26
I was spanked a bit...and usually deserved it...I turned out all right. -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:15
Ah yes...we've employed the wooden spoon ourselves...a couple times. -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 06:50
fwiw, I'm glad that spanking isn't a parenting norm anymore and that people don't reach for it too early in their parental toolkit... - TFox Jan 6, 06:46 3
- There's a whole generatation of children that could have used more spanks when they were four or five. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 6, 07:39
- Agreed. I think the concept of paying the consequences for your actions is an important lesson during childhood. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 6, 06:49 1
  - The worst I would get is the "sit in your room and don't do anything" I'd go crazy of boredom - MDH Jan 6, 06:52
I got the hand and the spoon, but I can't say I'm any better off for it. -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 06:40 1
- and that was just last night from your woman -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:10
I was spanked, but never got the spoon haha. -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 06:40
Yes, the wooden spoon and I were well-aquainted in my childhood. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 6, 06:37
