Question Spanking

Did the Cosby kids ever get spanked? I can't remember.
I know Arnold from Diff'rent Strokes did.

I don't think they ever did, but they got punished for doing some stupid stuff, though.

Cosby taught with love and talking, not with his fists.

Spankings are not given with the fists. Hitting your child with your fist is considered child abuse.

I disagree. A punch with the fist goes straight to the bone. A belt stings the skin.

They usually got punished by BOTH parents so there were no loopholes in their punishments!!

Why do some people consider corporal punishment child abuse? What I consider child abuse is letting your kid run wild and do whatever he wants to do without any consequences whatsoever. Disciplined children become self-disciplined adults.

Show me some studies that spanked kids become self-disciplined adults. How a kid turns out depends on a lot more than that. I am sure there are many spanked kids who become abusive parents...
