The photos don't look good. Looks more like abuse than a spanking.

I don't spank my kids because I choose not to. If he wants to spank his, fine his choice. But them photos show abuse not a spanking. There is a difference.

For my kids, not all are the same, a time out works every time. I'm not an authoritarian parent. Instead of do what I say or I'll beat you its do what I say because I'm teaching you the right way, your choice to learn the easy way or hard way (time outs, take away toys etc).

Blah I love AT :). This thread is full of trolls.
