I think I can count on the fingers of one hand how often I got spanked - BUT - I remember each one, and I remember this part of me that would think, 'how stupid is this?' <BR/><BR/>What she WAS a big believer in, however, was shaming when emotions were expressed.

There has been (and still are) parents who believe that they have to "beat the evil" out of their child. The "spare the rod, spoil the child" belief does not in anyway help shape a child's view of the world as an open & trusting place to share feelings/thoughts. <BR/><BR/>We agree on this article Julie. I think you would have made a wonderful parent!Doughnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100398955132921465noreply@blogger.com
