  • There is a time and place for spanking. Never a beating, but a spanking, yes.
    My kids probably had a lot more freedom than many of their peers, but there were some lines the threat of physical disapproval kept them from crossing.
    To be blunt, I felt it was important that my children were more afraid of me than peer pressure or some drug dealer.
    Neither has ever had any problems with drugs, teen pregnancy, disrespecting authority figures or lawless behavior.

    • Okay. But are they happy? Do they love you? Do they feel safe in their own home?
