How would you feel if a grown man spanked your butt?

If you have to resort to beating your children, you're just not being creative enough.

There's other methods to use that aren't as psychologically damaging.

Physical violence towards another person = abuse

so yes, I do.

So what happens to them mentally if I place them in the corner every time they do something wrong? Does this teach them that when they have done something wrong they need to isolate themselves? How is that good?

I'm really curious to figure out what you think.

I don't know if this is directed at me, but I'll answer anyway.

It depends on the situation, but I don't think that the point of giving a kid a time out is to isolate them as much as it is to let them calm down and think about the situation, and if that's something that they carry with them into adulthood then there's definitely no harm done.

So its cool to isolate yourself when you have problems?

I don't see any harm in it. Just taking a step back to collect your thoughts when you're in a situation where you might overreact... I don't see anything wrong with that.
