Although I'm definitely leaning toward never spanking, myself. I knew at about age 4 or 5 that spanking was a punishment or consequence for willfully misbehaving-the same as time out, which I also got-but I don't remember it often being a big deterrent. Sometimes it was, sometimes it wasn't.
But personally, I don't want to do it. I don't feel it's necessary in order to effectively discipline a child. I'd prefer to explore other options.

Negative memories aren't all bad. Parents just need to be consistent, yet loving. *NM*

You are apparently pretty ignorant about psychology if you think it is pseudo-science.

Larzelere is not the study organizer, though, but someone critical of it.
