I had a conversation like that at work just the other day... it started the same, kids are disrespectful they need to spank in schools like they use to( I work in a school) they also talked about making their own kids cut down switches from trees, but everyone is scared to do that now days... and I said I disagree, I don't think there is ever a reason to hit your kids. Of coarse I also don't believe in time out, and unless my DD is hungry or tired which is my fault not hers, i think she is much better behaved than most of my friends kids who do use time out. I told them I heard it best on here
that when our kids mess up we push them away and when we mess up God holds us closer! Shouldn't we show our kids the same grace and forgiveness and love?
