Do modern Day Jedi spank their kids?

Maybe not all Jedi spank their children; but, I did.

How do I know when or why to? Hmm... I guess it would be when a "rule" , and there were not that many of them, were broken. Mostly I like to live by guidelines. Why? Because it is not reasonable, in my opinion, to try and make rules for every occasion or thing.
But more importantly, I think, is that the child knows WHY they are about to get a spanking and that you never discipline your child/children why angry.

No, I (we) never spanked, never will.

Is there something like a method for every child? I don't think so...
In my experience every child is a unique charakter with it's own needs. Sometimes it's hard to remember this, but I believe this
is one of the real parents-tasks.

My two kids are complety different. A sleepy boy who is satisfied very fast (now he is grown up, but didn't really changed) and a curious girl with 1000 questions per hour and
two legs that are not able to walk - she is always running! She turned 13 this summer...

With a lot of patience, open minds, real listening and offering as a good counselor to them it worked pretty well.
I guess our advantage was, that my wife and me were able to alternate, if one of us didn't had the nerve for typical problems, typical arguments or the like.

A long time ago, before I knew better: now I won't.

I DO think all children should take martial arts, including sparring, though.
