In any case, I would prefer reasoning with my child. However, that may not work in every case. So, I can understand when spanking may need to be applied.
However, I don't think it helps to build a respectable, honest, and honorable adult. I think it is much more important that a child understands, from reason, why they should not do specific things rather than behavior based from a fear of punishment or a hope for reward. It may seem a bit idealistic, but I think it is important. Often, when a child is spanked they don't exactly understand the implications of what they have done aside from the punishment they are recieving for it. It seems barbaric at times and rather desperate. However, I do understand that in certain cases it may be called for. Eitherway, I think the child should be treated with respect and the adult should try to appeal to the child's reason before resorting to physical punishment. Even if physical punishment is applied, it's important that it is accompanied with an appeal to reason. "Rewards and punishment is the lowest form of education." - - - Chuang Tzu |
