When is it okay to spank a child?
<|assistant|>
Spanking should only be used as a last resort, when all other forms of discipline have failed. It should never be used to deliberately inflict pain, nor should it be used in anger. It should always be done in a calm, firm manner, and done only on the buttocks. When used appropriately, spanking can help reinforce a child's understanding that their actions have consequences, and provide a sense of security. However, it should not be used as a form of punishment, and should always be monitored to ensure it does not cause any physical harm.
