I never spanked my kids with anything other than a bare hand. And that wasn't hard. I found there are more effective discipline methods that work most of the time. However, if a child continues something that is dangerous or harmful to other kids, than spanking soundly may be necessary

My mother used a paddle on me during my teenage years but used the open hand when I was younger. I may have hated it (spankings) but they did the trick. I never considered her to be cruel, just someone you didn't mess with. She was firm but fair! She would give you a warning. If you failed to heed that advise, well then?

My father made a wooden paddle.But it was never used except on our backsides and never to excess.Corporal punishment isnt a bad thing until it gets out of hand and becomes abuse.
