As a tree hugger I'll add to this...when my dd was in diapers I would swat her hand when she was in danger or pat her butt when she was going somewhere she shouldn't. I don't consider this spanking and I do not think my child fears me hurting her in any way. I think before we throw out generalizations on what people do or don't do with their children we should consider that everyones idea of spanking is different
