Wow can't believe there are so many here who would consider spankings inappropriate punishment.
Spankings as a child helped forge the decent man I am today, and as much as I never believed it as a child whenever my parents said "one day you'll thank us for this" they were 100% right.
I'm thankfull they cared enough to tan my hide as appossed to other kids I knew who could get away with murder. At the time I thought they had the cool parents but I'll tell you they don't make better parents than mine.
I'm not a biblical man by any means but I have to agree "spare the rod spoil the child"

I think the original concern was broader than just spanking. Especially when you are talking about a 2 year old.
