Spanking child

Tobedad

Spanking was a go to behavior adjustment tool for my parents. What are everyone's opinion on it? I feel that it is needed in situations like don't go into the street and the child goes into the street then u spank them because it is the fastest way to ensure they won't do it agein and it's a life and death situation. However, I'd like to look at it with an objective mind since I am going to be a first time parent. Also, what age is to early (my brother spanked his children at 10 months). What do y'all feel are the pros and cons?
