I basically grew up with my mom spanking me whenever I did something wrong. What's good about her was she made me understand why she did that. Or maybe it was also good that I also tried to view it as more of a disciplining system than as a form of abuse.
But personally, if ever I'm going to have my own children someday, I wouldn't do it, simply because I have such high reverence for diplomacy. I don't have to hurt my kids just so I can get my message across, that is, I'm not really happy with what they're doing. Imparting wisdom and learning, I think, is not really at the end of the belt.
