When I was younger and would get in trouble my parents would count to three then they would spank me. I never really got spanked because once my parents started counting I knew they meant business so I would stop whatever I was doing. I plan on using the same discipline my parents used on me when I have children. I don't think there is anything wrong with spanking your children. I don't think that you should over spank them but I think you can definately spank them without causing the child pain. I also think that time outs can work as well too. I honestly think it just depends on the child when it comes to what kind of punishment to use. When I babysit and the children are being bad I usually use the punishment their parents have told me to enforce. Usually it's taking privileges away or putting them in time out. I would never spank another person's child because I don't believe you should. I think that spanking should be the punishment a parent uses not a babysitter. I think that deciding what punishment to use on your children just depends on the child. There are some kids who honestly don't care if they get spanked but do care when they are in time out. And there are kids who don't care about time outs but care about getting spanked. Or the child cares more about getting their privileges taken away rather than spanking or time outs. Again I think it just depends on the child.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Kayla! I enjoyed reading your post, and I am sure Alexis and Kilee will too. :)
