I totally agree...I came from an old fashioned family of spanking and such but as far as i can remember I only got it twice in my childhood. Letting your kids know that you love them and that they are important is a better solution than spanking (although it is still kinda useful on a case to case basis). I mean as a result they will be more afraid of losing the love of their parents instead of being afraid of spanking. So spending more time with kids is basically the best solution to this problem.
