[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Amy Alderman / Ellen Mauro / Joey Svendsen]

While spanking used to be fairly normal with very little cultural push back, many people in 2023 consider all forms of spanking child abuse.  Most would agree that hitting any part of a kid's body is abuse, in the event that an adult is relieving anger.  But are there healthy ways of going about spanking children? 

Ellen, Amy and Joey were all spanked as children.  Amy and Joey reflect on personal childhoods that benefitted from that form of discipline.  Ellen however is relentless in her view that spanking is always bad.
