Violence breeds violence. I never spanked,hit,etc my son and he was always a very well behaved child and an easy to live with teenager. He knew early on there would be consequences to unacceptable behavior,so did his friends,but still my house was always full of kids. My mother was never spanked either,she was born in 1922.My father,on the other hand was violently beaten and vowed never to do this to his own children and he never did. My son just got married to a 'spanked' girl.She said her father's outbursts made her feel humiliated and powerless. I hope they will continue our tradition of non-violence when they have children.
