How many minutes of continuous all-out lashing with a belt do you think would be a reasonable punishment for a child who downloaded a game?

My boy is constantly distracting his classmates any suggestions on how to get him to behave, without using physical force?

1) Were you spanked as a child? 2) How fearful of a person are you today?

I understand, depending on how they are used. I noticed that there are a lot of spanking questions. I wondered how many people who don't spank do yell. I wondered how they felt about yelling.

I think there's a time and a place for them, but both should be used very very sparingly. If a young child ran onto the road despite the parents calling for him not too, and was too young to understand what you were trying to tell him, then maybe a spanking _is_ a good idea so that he associates running onto the road with pain. Better than having a dead child. Or if a young child takes off her seatbelt in the car and ignores all requests to put it back on.
The options of yelling and spanking are best used for special situations. Too many parents will yell at or spank or beat their kids at the slightest provocation, and it can damage a kid for life as they feel they have to step on eggshells to avoid one or both of their parents going off.

But having said that Lizzie you are quite right - it is far better to explain to the kids what they did wrong - spanking and yelling should be reserved for extreme situations only and used extremely rarely.
