My daughter also has the monkey backpack and she spanks when necessary. Sometimes you have to do what is right for your family and say to hell with what the village wants. Because the Village doesn't always have the families best interest.Great post Debbie! This would be a great topic for Evo @ 11. Just my opinion. :-) I did both with my children, they had a so called leash and I spanked them when necessary. My daughter also has the monkey backpack and she spanks when necessary.

However, I don't know where to draw the line. I don't wanna be the crazy one smacking my kid in public, but I don't wanna be the one that allows madness. So is there a middle ground? I think you had it right by taking them sternly by the arm out to the car. Yeah. I can do that. Thanks for the idea! I tend to agree with you on this as well.

It wasn't one of those harnesses; it was the wrist-to-wrist model. She wasn't a particularly unruly child, but she hit toddlerhood right when child leashes became popular. As I recall, we didn't use it long because she wasn't much of a terror.I don't spank my kids because it doesn't work for me. However, I do agree that most kids these days don't seem to have the healthy fear of their parents that would stop them from running around the store, so gadgets like child harnesses have become necessary. Also, I've never seen a kid on one of these harnesses misbehaving, probably because the parent can feel pretty quickly when the kid is jerking around. I don't see these parents as neglectful; rather I think of them as doing their best to keep up with their kids. I will admit that there was a brief period when I had my oldest child on a leash.

Smack the little bastards when they need it, where they need it. They tend not to be as big of little bastards when you do.
