I think it's ok to spank your child on their barebottom if they deserve it. It gets the point across and makes them think about it before doing it again. What has this world come to that a parent is afraid to discipline their child the way they feel is best? Do what you think is right and don't be afraid to put your child over your knee and give her what is needed. But always remember not to spank out of anger or you may do something you regret.
