This. If spankings are your go to, you’ve done something wrong. You don’t actually have to lay hands in order for people to fear you’d lay hands, thats discipline.Hitting is not discipline, it's punishment. Physical punishment is sometimes necessary for extreme behaviors that require severe correction but if kids have discipline instilled in them don't need physical punishment on a regular basis and if that's your go-to form of discipline or punishment then you're a shytty parent.
A lot of us haven’t been spanked in years or ever, but we still fear our parents enough to know it COULD happen if we got out of pocket.
