Quote by: pikatore  Really, you cant explain to a baby why taking a crap on the floor is a bad thing. i think to be honest, in the early years, spanking (when no other alternative is really present) does the job. it isnt inhuman to spank, but it is obviously bad to abuse it. |

While this is true, you can teach a child to use the toilet without spanking him. In fact, if you spank a child when he/she does wet or soil themselves, that child will associate toilet training with physical pain and avoidance which will hamper and retard the toilet training process.
