I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing

I wrote a simple plugin for wordpress to add the NETBible tagger. as long as your java is enabled the NetBible links should work. They are working from my end.

What your father did was abuse in my view. I was spanked as a child also, but it was only in punishment. From what i gather from your post, you father would strike in anger rather than true punishment. you can not let you anger drive your punishment. (I will write more on anger latter) I am in agreement that corporal punishment should only be used when no other punishment works.

I have found tha with my oldest all I have to do it threaten to send her to her room. Being away from us is, even if she is still in the same house, is the worst thing we can do to her. Our youngest, 3 yo, is a bit more difficult. She needs a pop on the bopttum from time to time. I hope she grows out of it.

This has been a tough one for me and one that I struggle with quite often. My dad would spank us or punish us when we were kids, but it was with prejudice. He would do it when he was angry and I grew to hate him because of it.

He's saved now and he still sees what he did was right, but I told him what it lead me to feel about him. If I get anything from my dad it's his anger. I can get angry quick. I can blow up and my kids can be in the radius of the explosion.

If I'm teaching my kids about Jesus, and I'm supposed to be a reflection of Him. Getting like that is not a good example.

I do spank my kids. But only for certain escalated reasons. It is not intended as a first response strategy. What I found works for my 4YO daughter is firmly talking to her. Do the time out thing and then let her know what was in error.

Thanks for this. Have a great weekend and God Bless.
