This is such a debate.  In my opinion spanking takes away the child's ability to think through a consequence.  It's such an immediate reaction to a wrongdoing that they are only obeying to keep from being hurt.  No matter how it's done, it hurts.  I tried the spanking thing on both my children and after going through school for Social Work and learning about choices I realized that that is what promotes self esteem and takes the battle out of day to day disagreements and defiance.  You do this, this happens.  Not a threat of violence.  Also I noticed it just made them mad.
