So you had input from school and friends, probably TV to some extent, and I'm sure there were others. And somehow you were lucky enough to be one of those who listened carefully to what your parents advised and didn't get into mischief. Not all children put up with being sheltered. I didn't. Momma tried.
My point is that to say that all a parent has to do is do everything right and no kid will 'get to the point of needing a spanking' is just wrong. See my post below... all kids are different. That's like saying that all the inmates must have had bad parents. It just doesn't work that way. :)
