I love my baby

Ideal parenting considers spanking and beating kids as a big time no. But what I recently read in the Pretoria News was quite astonishing. The newspaper heralded the act of spanking kids saying that if done in the right manner, teaches a child to respect.

'Spare the rod and spoil the child'...we had been hearing this cry since ages. But it sees the time has come when this rod will actually vanish away from the child rearing scene. And it's good to hear that California will be the pioneer state to do that.

Is it something like the new generation of babies is more naughty than their earlier counterparts or is it that the new mothers have lost the tact to deal with the kids? I'm saying this because he new mothers are supportive of spanking kids. And this.
