Spanking can give only short time results.<br /><br />The best way is to motivate them. <br /><br />We got to be loving, informative and inspirational to the child. We need to guide them develop their intuition and then all is set. Intuition is developed only by devotion to God.<br /><br />So i believe we must help the child be in sync with God. All will be well.ramesh sadasivamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120097072859277237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157841036715588385.post-8377910583214449582009-09-12T07:16:30.554+05:302009-09-12T07:16:30.554+05:30I dont remember i was ever smacked but i developed...I dont remember i was ever smacked but i developed a fair understanding of what my parents liked and disliked.
