Adults making decisions out of anger is much harsher than SPANKING. Anger is the difference between spanking and hitting. Spanking is designed to correct without hurting relationship. It is in sense the same as a child burning their hand on the stove after being told not to touch it. Overreacting is not the answer. Self Control for adults is. Adults that remove the feeling of love and care when a child misbehave breaks their soul. This is the real issue. Our kids need to see that we are with them and for them. Not just the athletes and academic achievers , all kids need to see that the adults in their world are about the well being of all kids. Trust is spelled T I M E. So spend time and see a child get their needs met.
