After doing some research on the topic I had I now understand to a even higher level that there is always two sides. To spank or not to spank? I think for any family or parent this will cross their mind and you must take into consideration, is this within my morals to actually spank my kid for bad behavior? Spanking isn't the only form of corporal punishment there could also be a slap across the head, violently grabbing your kid and leaving marks and scratches that cause injury. If I had a kid and were looking into both options I think I would of looked at more of the criteria. I would of looked even more in depth and put myself and my kid into the situation I was reading about. I found myself with this research project not even giving thought to my own background until after I presented. So just getting myself involved with the subject I found I became more interested.
To be clear my parents were very much against corporal punishment and especially spanking. As I brought up the question to my mom she gave me a very avid NO! I have never spanked you and never thought about it which opened my eyes even more. Before getting into the subject I already had a stance on the issue. I will never spank or corporally punish my kid I never gave a second thought to it as I noticed that I am following in my mothers footsteps. I am a great kid who has never gotten into (too) much trouble just your normal teenager and now college student with nothing on my record to hurt me. Proof can go either way but I believe being raised how you were helps to influence your decision. After the research I find myself still on the same idea; that I will not spank my kids for I have turned out well so lets keep it going into the next generation with my children. I think verbal communication makes more of a connection then a hit on the ass.
