I do not think
spanking children as bad, as long as the parent makes it apparent to the child why. I also think
that spankings should be no more then 2-3 hit max, and should not be at the full strength of the parent. If these two rules are kept, then there will be no psychological damage to the child.
So why are people suddenly angry, with spanking all together? I don't get it.
Whoah! - quite a number of erroneous assumptions:
1.
re "spankings should not be at the full strength of the parent, & no more then 2-3 hit max."
Having worked in both Trauma, & Psych-services, I can tell you that just one hit, has been known to seriously injure a child physically, & obviously leave emotional scars.
2.
re "If these two rules are kept, then there will be no psychological damage to the child."
The above demonstrates, what you feel/think, doesn't measure up. Aside having helped many others, including from various abuses heal..., I am as well a mother, who further successfully trained children. -
This said, that
if you would raise an emotionally-healthy child, you find Intelligent ways to achieve this.

re "as long as the parent makes it apparent to the child why, I do not think spanking children as bad".
Do remember, that
ALL of us 1st. were created from God's pure & perfect love,
He next sent into our safe-keeping, care, training & nurturing...
And children, especially during pre-conversant stages are VERY-perceptive about their parents' thoughts & intents, they know where you're coming from. You can't fool them. Given this to understand, and the fact that tragically, over 95% of people who "spank" have varying levels of self-control, with most lacking an alarming degree of same, obviously it's time to accept some new
thoughts.

It's easy not to get something, when only working from limited experience, and not yet considering a whole wide world of facts, and more successful relationship
choices...
