To spank or not to spank? If you are a parent, you have most likely already asked yourself this question - should you spank your child? And if so, how should you go about it? Spanking is an effective punishment and discipline method when done right. This book will take you through the principles of ethical and constructive spanking, followed by a step-by-step guide on how to spank your child with love. Punishing your child can hurt you more than it does him/her. Responsible parents will do everything they can to mold their children to principled and compassionate individuals, including an occasional whip. However, spanking your child could have the opposite effects if you don't do it right. Unfortunately, lack of knowledge, or willful breaking of the spanking rules, will have the same negative results on your child's psychology. It is your responsibility as a parent to educate yourself in spanking, or not do it all.

I'm writing this now to you, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, to tell you that you no longer need to let somebody that is emotionally unavailable continue to contr...
