How to Include Spanking in Child Discipline: 16 Steps

In an ideal world, spanking would never be necessary and it is best practice to exhaust other methods of discipline before implementing spanking as course of action.

Still, on occasion, you may deem it necessary to smack your child's bottom. This article seeks to neither promote nor discourage spanking, but, instead, hopes to give parents information about the best ways to help your child become a responsible human being and also provide instruction on how to spank your child the safest way.

Spanking is a much-debated topic: Many child psychologists do not recommend spanking as a discipline for children, yet other psychologists and many parents will tell you that a spanking—given with fairness, love, and care—is an effective discipline technique.

You, as a parent, are charged with carefully weighing the options and likely outcomes of the various disciplinary actions and coming to your own conclusion about the effects and efficacy of spanking versus other disciplinary actions or methods of shaping behavior.
