Can you throw your child over knee and swat them on the butt?

It is generally not advisable to throw your child over your knee and swat them on the butt as a form of discipline. This type of physical punishment can be emotionally traumatizing for children and can potentially cause physical injury. Additionally, research has shown that spanking and other forms of physical punishment are not effective in preventing unwanted behavior and may actually increase aggression in children. It is important to find more positive and effective ways to discipline children, such as using time-outs, setting clear boundaries and expectations, and teaching children self-control and resilience.
