Careful, Karen. You're in danger of puncturing another beloved perception with the cruel fangs of truth.

I have never thought spanking lead to child abuse. I merely think that spanking teaches the wrong thing, and I continue to think that. When a large person hits a small person, there is a lesson that adults hit children when they are wrong. Of course permissiveness is not the only opposite of spanking. I am one of the least permissive, most controlling people I know- in my own sneaky and devious way. But I'm clever, and my discipline is clever- and it gets me where I want to go. I've no idea if between two choices I consider bad (spanking or permissiveness) one is better than the other. It is a non-issue to me.
