Yes but with reason. And I always explain why I do so to the kids so they understand. Punish them for the behaviour itself, and not the action.

Never, if you spank you are effectively teaching them that violence is a way to solve problems

I wasn't spanked as a kid and I turned out fine. So I don't really believe in spanking.

I haven’t, but trying very hard to hold back my urge 😂

Depends on the severity of their wrongdoings.

I’m strongly against violence towards kids

Once and then couldn't sleep that night.😔

Only if and when truly truly necessary...

Sometimes only when absolutely necessary
