It can be a difficult subject to talk about. Many parents do it, but not everyone is willing to admit it for fear others won't understand. It's even ghd straightenersagainst the law in some countries. I'm talking about spanking.
  What constitutes spanking in a family can vary widely. 'For some parents, a spanking may consist of one slap on a child's buttocks, whereas for others it involves repeated slaps,' according to a 2002 analysis by Elizabeth Gershoff, then at Columbia University. The review of 88 studies concluded that corporal punishment can get children to comply immediately, but that spanking was associated with negative behaviors in children over time. The outcomeed hardy varied according to the severity of parents' practices.
 Spanking has its defenders. The conservative Family Research Council on its Web site says that the organization believes, 'The right of parents to impose necessary discipline, including spanking, upon their children should not be infringed.'
Child-development experts generally oppose spanking. The American Academy of Pediatrics, in its policy on discipline, says, 'Corporal punishment is of limited effectiveness and has potentially deleterious hair straighteners side effects,' and that spanking 'has been associated with increased aggression' in children. The group says that other methods such as time outs and removal of privileges are more effective.
 Recent research on the subject, done at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, looked at the disciplinary practices of 1,435 mothers and concluded that parents who spank are significantly more likely to also use more severe forms of punishment that the researchers defined as abusive, such as kicking, or hitting a child with an object somewhere other than on the buttocks.
 In a video on the university's Web site, lead researcher Adam J. Zolotor, assistant professor at UNC's School of Medicine, says that eventually, spanking stops working because children no longer care if they get ghdspanked a phenomenon known as 'extinction.'
 The AAP says the majority of families do spank, at least occasionally. Readers, do you ever spank your children, and if so, what principles guide you?
