Christine, conservative parents are not rigid. The Montessori school my kids attend are full of conservative parents. That is simply more of your stereotyping.

Christine, you said...<<<And since being hit a lot as a child is one of the risk factors for a life of crime, you are certainly taking a chance with that kind of parenting style.>>>

I believe having a closed mind to the use of spanking as a method of discipline is taking a big chance. You talk about moderation, but your moderation is complete capitulation. That is not a balanced look at the issue.

In your mind NO child should ever be spanked. Some children, as well as teenagers, need a spanking to straighten them out. I certainly hope mine never do, but you never can tell. I certainly am not going to be akin to some religios like belief system, which says spanking is child abuse and not use it if I see fit.

As I've said many times before, there is a BIG difference between an occcasional spanking and child abuse. How on earth you can not see that one is beyond my comprehension.
