idk if its a healthy practice, not qualified to speak on that, but i was spanked as a kid both by my parents and my friends parents who helped raise me a lil, and i'll say i both still very much love and respect those who did it and it most certainly put a short stop to those behaviors 🤷🏽♂️
It’s proven that spanking and corporal punishment doesn’t work. It’s completely fucks up a child’s way of viewing authority, it promotes violence and it doesn’t even promote discipline but instead makes kids better at hiding mistakes from their parents instead of teaching kids how to learn from their mistakes which will make you a better person. If your parents did this than Ik it sucks but you have to be the one who stops the cycle
Ngl i see nothing wrong with spanking to a degree. Fine line between abuse and corrective force. Pain is a good enforcer. I was spanked as a kid. Parents stopped when i hit either 8 or 9 and i started getting grounded. Ngl grounding did nothing to me. Idk each kid needs something different. You cant just remove a parenting method just cause its execution isnt ideal. If it works it works.
