toldailytopic: Do you support corporal punishment in schools? Should schools spank di

[Christ's Word]

This right here makes me wonder if you are indeed actually a psychologist. I wouldn't trust a therapist who insists a child who isn't spanked will end up in therapy (and having studied child development I know this isn't taught either). It is not absolutely necessary to spank every child. Period. Choosing another method of discipline does not mean your child will end up needing therapy.

Each one of my colleagues has a different opinion on this subject and have raised their children differently, Psychologists themselves are all over the map on this issue.

There are children that behave almost all the time, and a parent certainly would not and should not spank a child just to spank them. Corporal punishment should be a last resort, and the punishment should rise only to the level of the behavior.

Your naive comments make me wonder if you have ever been a parent? If so, did your children do anything wrong?

The exception does not disprove the rule, or reality.
