Kids need discipline, but it’s the parents’ job to figure out what forms of it are appropriate for them. In the past, corporal punishment was the norm. In fact, in one study, a whopping 55% of adults said they were spanked as children. As a result, many of them swear never to spank their own kids.
So did these parents, but they ran into a disagreement with the grandma. To her, their no physical punishment rule seemed laughable, and she said she would still do it because her generation “turned out just fine.” After hearing that, the parents had to make a choice: protect their daughter or allow the grandma to make her own rules.
