Its basically teaching violence.

Oh BULLSHIT. While I am trying to stay away from spankings and using more timeouts, spanking does NOT teach my children violence, what a crock of ****. Do you know what violence is? Have you ever watched your mom get BEAT? Have YOU ever been BEAT? Not spanked(because whether you or anyone else wants to realize it, there IS a difference)BEATEN. I think it is extremely sad that anyone could possibly compare the 2. A swat on the the butt HARDLY signifies violence. If spankings are used with an object, THAT is when I would call it violence and abuse.

I highly recommend the Suppernanny show and book. She does also explain why hitting children in anyway does damage to them, when done at an early age.

Love that show. And yes, hitting your child could damage them. Duh. However, IMO spanking is not hitting. I was not spanked as a child and looking back on how I was as a child, wish like you wouldn't believe that I had been. I would even lie to my friends and tell them I did get spanked, just so they wouldn't think I was spoiled and got away with things I did wrong.
Let me ask you, what do you say to the people on this topic who don't believe in discipline AT ALL? What are they teaching their children? I personally don't think they are teaching them anything, except how to manipulate her, especially the one who said if she tells her child to do something and they won't do it, she does it for them. WTF?
