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).

I'm raising kids that learn how to make their own decisions not to just fear my authortahhhhhh.

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