Yes, I believe in it whole heartedly. Not to be abusive, just for proper correction. It was the way I was raised. I had many spankings, and I believe I am better for it. The bible also states:
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
-- Proverbs 13: 24 (KJV)
My daughter is 21 months old, and she has been spanked a few times, and it makes a difference. She is one of the best behaved children her age I have seen. Tantrums are what got her spanked, after a couple of spankings, I now have to simply tell her with a stern voice to dry ir up, and it stops. Every time I see a kid throw a tantrum, I just think to myself, a good spanking would stop that.
