Is Spanking Okay?

Experts say that spanking is not okay. They think that spanking children is wrong and could even be dangerous. Some believe that if you spank your child, it could teach them to fear you. It could also cause them to think that it is okay to use force to get your way. If this is true, then why do parents do it anyway. They believe that it is a good way to discipline your child. They think that it teaches them  that they are in control and that they should be listened to. 

To me, spanking is okay in some situations. If they do something that hurts other people or that can cause a major problem, they need to be spanked. Children that are spanked seem to do better in school and volunteer more. This is stated by http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2010/is_spanking_ok_calvin.html. Spanking teaches kids when it is okay to do something and when it is not. It isn't okay to when you are in public. Some people think its not okay to do it so it wouldn't be a good idea to spank them in public. I would talk to them while in public, then discipline them at home. To me, spanking is okay in some situations.
