To spank or not to spank
Spanking can have its ups and down. The good parts about spanking is it will teach them discipline. If the child doesn't like to get spanked they are never going to do what they did wrong again like burning something in the house and you get a spanking for it, so most likely the child will never do it again. The bad parts of spanking a child is that you may get in trouble if you do it in public and someone turns you in to CPS. This is why there is advantages and disadvantages of spanking children.
