Show of hands...how many here are emotionally scarred from being disciplined or, god forbid, spanked as a child?

Everyone seems to have their own definition of spanking, abuse, or discipline so it's hard to tell. I wasn't "scarred" by my father disciplining us but he rarely had to spank us and when he did, it was a pat on the bottom.

I do know that kids who never get discipline, when someone just speaks harshly to them they act like they got beaten.
