Counting to three, putting kids in "timeout" or wagging your finger and saying "shame, shame" accomplishes nothing. You have to drive the point home early and often with kids so that by the time they are preteens, they have learned that you don't get your way by disrespecting people.

Nowadays, kids are told they are delicate little snowflakes, well into their teens, and you can't do anything without them crying foul.

It depends on the kid. I have a 9 year old almost 10 and I have yet to have put a hand on him. If you teach your kids right and wrong and take the time to talk to them it goes a lot better I find. Spankings are usually for parents who can't control there frustrations and anger and need to take it out on something or someone and that is usually the kid.

Not saying that there is a kid out there that could use some tough love like that but you have to be careful.

I also feel we put these NFL players on such a high pedestal and expect them to be perfect in every way and that is just wrong. You are entittled to make mistakes and you entittled to learn from them. Holding something that is and can be corrected and learned behavior to stop someone from earning a living is wrong as well.
