Parents should really explain to children that what they are doing is wrong, not just hit them and that's it. But sometimes spanking is the only solution, if the child does something very wrong.

I noticed a lot of people tend to blame the "out of control" kids of today on the parent's who do not discipline their kids as they did yesterday, in other words by hitting or by using force; but I think this is a huge mistake.
Currently the people of the world are in the midst of a big tranistion. We are dealing with new belief systems that are emerging along with a huge increase in techonology. We are left to figure out what works for us now, not yesterday.
What I see has happended is that people have had a hard time finding an effective method of disciplining their children without using violence. I blame this on people's own laziness. Too many parents are not willing to put in the work and time to find ways to work with their children and so they rely on the age old habit of hitting their kids as a mehtod for discplining them...
Sounds barabaric to me...
AS far as methods to "safely" hit your children; it's ridiculous. Parents who tend to abuse their kids are not be the ones searching for "other" methods to discipline them.
