Question description
Spanking children is and has been a controversial topic for quite some time. Do you feel spanking a child with an open hand on the rear end where no mark is created (factors often used by law enforcement to distinguish between spanking and child abuse) should be legally allowed (you must select one side of the issue or the other, yes or no, not maybe or in some cases)? Be sure to discuss this issue from both a child development and parenting perspective.400 Words. 2 academic sources. My stance is that spanking is ok, but there is a fine line between spanking and abuse and the main ingredient is anger. Spanking should never be done out of anger. Please make sure this is included and is the stance taken.
