Who Needs a Spanking? (Alexia's Books)

Product Information

Keeping kids on the right path isn’t always about punishment, it is also about encouragement and rooting out the deeper heart issues that keeps a defiant kid in constant trouble.

If spanking falls under the umbrella of corporal punishment, and corporal punishment is still legal in some schools, it might be logical to think that a certain degree of spanking–especially in the privacy of our own homes–is harmless. Conditional spanking (a mild spanking after a 2-to-6-year-old child has defied a less extreme form of discipline) is less risky than spanking as a first resort, according to some studies. Parents who are really good at providing choices have children who are more compliant and good at making decisions! Pleasure-based, queer-inclusive kink educator Lateef Taylor says that the difference between a regular spanking session and a spanking therapy scene is intention.

After all, “…children who spend more time responding to conflicts…spend more time thinking with their primitive brain (which is mostly autonomous) than their cerebral brain, (which is mostly wired for logic). Others say it is advocating disciplining your children by hitting them with a stick, plain and simple. Many parents today view themselves primarily as their child’s friend and recoil at the idea of administering discipline.
