Article: https://time.com/3387226/spanking-can-be-an-appropriate-form-of-child-discipline/ In this episode, I explore the controversial issue of spanking as a form of child discipline, referencing Jared Pingleton's article amid recent debates. I argue that true discipline should empower children and foster self-discipline rather than rely on physical punishment. I challenge the effectiveness of spanking, highlighting the need for modeling positive behaviors and questioning the validity of "mild spanking." Emphasizing the difference between fear-based compliance and genuine respect, I advocate for authority rooted in love and understanding. Ultimately, I urge parents to reassess their disciplinary choices to promote positive outcomes and break generational cycles of harsh discipline.
