Do you think its ok to spank a baby?At what age would you begin to spank your child when they are acting rude?I give my baby little spanks every now and again when she is acting badly and screaming at us.Shes very spoiled and starts to screech at you really hard when she doesnt get her own way or whatever she wants.

no, I don't think the baby should be spanked at all. There is a research conducted in which, if during the delivery the babies were spanked to make them cry and/or the babies were spanked in the early years, there is a violent tendencies that will grow in them. This is because they will think that pain and violent is a good thing. I think your child should be only be spanked when they reach like kindergarden or elementary school.

I have given my 2 year old a swat now and then. I wouldn't really call it a spank, just a swat, to get his attention, but it doesn't hurt him. He is like yours, spoiled and whines or screeches a lot!

you must do that when they're acting badly but i think we can do that when they are in four years old.
