Kristy and Brandon disagree about how to discipline their son Joshua. Kristy believes that spanking is harmful and should never be used. Brandon, on the other hand, thinks that spanking can be an effective way of teaching right from wrong. What do psychologists say about this debate? Does spanking always produce negative consequences, or are there situations where spanking might be effective? http://ericae.net/edo/ED405139.htm
