At what age is spanking appropriate?
At what point do children understand the point of being spanked?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A mom told me this week that she spanked her 10-month old baby for getting into something repeatedly. She had told the baby no over and over again and finally spanked him. She said he sat on the floor crying looking up at her.
This story disturbed me.
At what age is it appropriate to spank a child? When do children understand what a spanking is in theory trying to teach them?
