I run a Parenting group in a shelter for families. We do not allow any forms of physical punishment or threats here, and I regularly face these exact challenges to our rule. I am happy to go back into group this week armed with even more thoughtful rebuttals. :) Thank you so much for sharing this!  I run a Parenting group in a shelter for families.  We do not allow any forms of physical punishment or threats here, and I regularly face these exact challenges to our rule.  I am happy to go back into group this week armed with even more thoughtful rebuttals.  :)

Children use it at school and public libraries to help them with school work, research, and for communicating with teachers or tutors.

Your son will appreciate you and the gentleness with which you confront him. No need to talk about the difference unless your son brings it up. He will feel the difference and hold on to that into adulthood. Second, continue to model, enlighten and pass on uncommon parenting to your son's father. Seek to offer help rather than belittle or shame. Perhaps giving him a copy of the Spanking be gone blog is one of those ways. First, stay the course with your parenting style.

But what about a child that is being co-parented? It's extremely difficult for myself to incorporate one form of discipline, and then when my son is with his father, it's a more physical form. Not only is it very frustrating for me, but I'm certain it's equally frustrating for our 5yr old son. I've tried for several years talking to his father about this, and have gotten no where.
