Well, I'm a "rarely swat" parent, and I think spanking only works for a small window of a child's life anyway. Our children are VERY well-behaved, and I can count on one hand the number of times all 3 of them have been spanked in the last year, combined.
Spanking is not a responsibility. Discipline, guidance, training, teaching and unconditional love are the responsibilities of parenting, and spanking is not a necessary part of that equation.
