Sensitive subject for me. I was very careful what to spank for. I taught "why" to my kids so they would know to make the right choices. Worked very well. I was spanked every morning with a board because I wet the bed. I NEVER knew I was doing it, so in the morning, I found out as mom woke me. If I waken thru the night, I begged God to take me to heaven so I would not get beat.
