@Mina @bertwells @futurebird As I stated before, it depends on the child. Not every child will listen to words. Some do require spankings, others can simply be grounded, while others a simple conversation works.
If a kid is being violent, they will get spanked. This has been a general rule with my extended family, as a violent kid unchecked usually turns into a violent adult. Being spanked by a loving parent is not detrimental.
