Should you be spanked?
It depends on what you did and your age. It also depends on who is doing the spanking. I, personally, do not believe that anyone other than parents should spank a child. A good test of whether spanking would be effective would be to ask you which form of discipline you would choose if you could. If you say being grounded, chances are that you are still of an age where spanking would be effective. If you would rather take the spanking, then chances are you have become too old to be spanked and grounding is the way to go. Spanking is not wrong or immoral. It does not do mental or emotional harm to the child. Children learn obedience and respect from such discipline. However, spanking should never be confused with a beating. What you are spanked with should be considered. I would recommend parents not use their hands, which should always bring love and comfort. Neither would I use anything that could break the skin. Spanking should not leave bruising in any form and should never be on any part of the body except the buttocks or palm of the hand. The spanking should be in private and not cause embarrassment or humiliation, such as spanking in the nude or in front of viewers. If parents are consistent in both their love and discipline, spanking is rarely, if ever, necessary, but again, it all depends on you.
Should polygamists discipline their child by spanking?

Should parents discipline their children?
"Children should never receive less protection than adults. . . [we must] put an end to adult justification of violence against children, whether accepted as 'tradition' or disguised as 'discipline'."Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, Member of the UN Sub-commission on the promotion and protection of human rights, Geneva, 2006.Another ViewYes, I believe a child should get the occasional spanking when it is deserved. Not a beating nor a thrashing and never with anything but an open hand on the clothed buttocks. The spanking should be administered by the parent at the time of the misbehavior with clear reasons why they are being spanked. I personally believe bad behavior should have consequences when time out's and other methods do not work.Yet Another ViewMany parents insist that they don't enjoy spanking their child but they believe it's the best way to change bad behavior. But what if there was a way to change bad behavior without spanking--wouldn't most parents want to try it? Interestingly, there are many ways to discipline without spanking (and without time-outs). The word "discipline" basically means "to teach," and researchers have found that positive reinforcement of good behavior works better than punishment in changing behavior. It's longer-lasting, more internalized, and results are quicker.

What are some alternatives to spanking?
Talking to your child is the best alternative to spanking. Children should also be able to communicate their feelings to their parents and parents should have the ear to listen.

Children with down syndrome should be disciplined like any other children. Time out or talking away privileges might be the best option if you're not comfortable with spanking your child as he or she might not understand that they have done something wrong.
