What are your opinions on parents who use spanking as a way to punish their children?

I have read reports of how spanking can destroy children's self confidence and self esteem but I was spanked during my childhood and I think I'm better because of it.

Discuss:
Have you ever been spanked?
did you deserve it?
The difference between punishment and abuse.
If you have ever been spanked, how has it affected your life?

I have. And so have my brothers.

Yes, we deserved it.

There's a difference between a disciplining spanking, and abuse.

I don't see spanking your child for ever punishment, but for certain things, yes.

I don't see how it could ruin a child's self confidence and self esteem personally...

Quite honestly, I know that I'm mature and responsible now, and my parent's discipline did help.

My parents spanked me. Sometimes I spank my wife but that is a different story.

Have you ever been spanked? A number of times
did you deserve it? Shoot yeah, I was mean as a kid
The difference between punishment and abuse. Of course, one thing that I would have to say was when I was spanked my dad always came to me after I calmed down and explained why he did it and always told me he loved me. I never got the impression that he hated me, I was getting it b/c of something I did wrong or outside the rules, and never too hard.
If you have ever been spanked, how has it affected your life? Taught me to respect my parents more and made me listen and made me know that there are consequences in life. Love them for it and will always be grateful.

I was spanked and it was a little over board I think. The abuse to my self esteem came from belittling remarks from parents and authority figures. Calling a child an idiot for mistakes made is counterproductive.
I had two kids and spanked at first but found I got further with other forms of correction.
