Just do it

Nothing wrong with spanking. Most of adult America got spanked, minus the bratty Millenials, and we've all turned out fine.

Thing is, you've got to establish who's boss early on. Otherwise, the kid's driving the train for 18 years.

A Spanking Might Beat Ritalin

EXCELLENT article! I could not agree more. As the mother of six children, 17 grandchildren and an occasional spanker, I was very impressed by the common scence used in the article. Thank you for not being afraid to say what is right even though some will missconstrue it. Thanks again!

Are you kidding me?

How in the heck do you come to the conclusion that not spanking results in AD(H)D????

Twisted you are.

Children love spanking!

There has never been a question in my mind that children love spanking. They instinctively know that spanking works for them! Withdrawal of spanking alienates them to the point of ADHD. Our society has been brainwashed by radical feminists for decades, that "spanking is bad." Their rational has been that fathers, if allowed to spank, will gain an extra share of power over the woman in the family. This is the best guarded secret! These radical feminists prefer that American children languish with ADHD, than to allow men more power! ADHD is directly linked to withdrawal of spanking in the growing stage! The brai is wired for life in that stage. The child, when not spanked, gets a damaged brain! But how do you fight a culture gone amok? I have been in the forefront of this battle for 30 years. My career was destroyed. I have received threats. My character was publicly vilified on Internet! But it has been worth it! I will carry to my grave the medals of my battle for America's children!

Credible professionals oppose child buttock-battering

Additionally, the vast majority of credible professionals will verify child buttock-battering as inappropriate.

Just a handful of such credible professionals:

American Academy of Pediatrics

American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Center For Effective Discipline

PsycHealth

Behavioral Health Professionals

United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of Children

etc, etc, etc.

Child buttock-battering vs. DISCIPLINE

Child buttock-battering for the purpose of gaining compliance is nothing more than an inherited bad habit. Its a good idea for people to take a look at what they are doing and learn how to DISCIPLINE instead of hit.
