If the husband is nit being too physically abusive I do not think that this is a big issue.Sometimes you know you need to be a little hard with children so that they do not commit mistakes.However there is also a limit and it is this limit that the mother should have to watch so that it may not be crossed.I hope that this issue will not get bigger.

Spanking the child is not a solution. What does the child learn from this? Just ask him... It is the easiest way to make a child understand that he has made something wrong but it is far from being the most instructive one. Sometimes spanking can be useful but becoming a habit, it becomes a problem too.

This is true, but it does'nt seem to be working. Spanking kept me from doing a lot of things growing up. I suffered no long term effects from it.

Spanking children is bad. Haven’t your husband realized that the son did more “bad” things when being spanked? Children should be punished according to their acts but not physically hurt. They should understand what they did wrong and not simply spanked for that.

let him discover new things then only he will undestands where he went wrong.
