2. spank with a rod, not with your hand (the hand is a symbol of affection). if you use your hand to spank, the child will confuse it for discipline.
3. Spank only in the buttocks, and not anywhere else.
4. talk to your child after spanking, explain to them why they were spanked, then affirm them of your love with a hug.
5. let them acknowledge their sin, if they do not, they will not understand why they are being spanked. then pray with them.

I believe in spanking, and I believe the bible lays down the perfect procedure for doing so. disciplining without spanking will not work, as a general rule.
very well said sir!
