how hard to spank my child?

Spank them to the point where they cry, but don’t leave a mark.

Spanking is not abuse; it’s discipline. Spanking communicate the rules, boundaries and limitations in clear terms that very young children can understand. Parents shouldn’t have to waste their time “reasoning” with toddlers.

TALK,TALK,TALK 2 your child spanking=wrong

Children should never be spanked. If it were an adult it would be an arrestable offence. Children have every right not to be conditioned to think of this as acceptable.

SPANKING ISENT THE RITE THING TO DO you SHOULD JUST SIT WITH YOUR CHILD QUIETLY UNTIL HE/SHE CALMS DOWN NO SPANKING AT ALL ITS ILIGAL

okay, thanks for the great advise everyone :)

Um try talking things out. Spanking = abuse

When I was younger, both me and my sister used to get smacked when we were younger by my father. Now that we are older, we have learned to behave because of how hard our father hit us. Now you might say that its an offence to hit children when their younger, but both me and my sister are now well behaved thanks to our father hitting us whenever we did something naughty. So my advice is this, you may need to teach your children a lesson whenever they have done something naughty, and not hit them too hard, just enough so that they learn their lesson
