23. people always comment on how well behaved our 6 yr old boy is...

...and how well-mannered.

We have never spanked him.

We have, however, discussed all punishments (time outs, removal of toys, etc.) in such a way that he understood both what he did wrong, and the exact nature of the punishment.

I was spanked liberally by an emotionally abusive father, and had no desire to go down that road myself. I have been thrilled with the results of rejecting past family history. Our son is a great kid!
