Moms who spank

Ever found yourself on the wrong side of a brush or comb when your mom was trying to get your hair right? All she had to do was clench her legs around our little bodies in one quick motion and deliver a few good taps and we were out for the count. The reality is extension cords are just skinnier, longer, less expensive belts. Thankfully, moms had sense enough not to use this rather large device on any extremity above the waist.

Disclaimer: This post is the perspective of one local parent, however, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not endorse spanking as a form of punishment. You can read their position statement HERE. Spanking is one of the topics that has recently become taboo in the parenting world. I do not subscribe to this line of reasoning.

In a new corporal punishment study based on actual audio recordings, mothers spank, slap or hit their young children, sparking crying, tantrums and whimpering. Believed to be the first study of its kind, 37 mothers recorded up to 36 hours of interactions with their children, says psychologist George W. Holden, Southern Methodist University, Dallas. The data capture the moments before, during and after punishment, which ranged from spanking with a belt to admonishments while hitting. In one recording, a mom spanks her 3-year-old 11 times for fighting with his sister.
