I remember being in trouble once. I grew up in a small town, and I did something at a neighbor's house, and she spanked me. I then went home and got spanked again.
When Hillary coined the phrase it takes a village to raise a child I laughed because I knew she had no idea what she was talking about. The only way a village can raise a child is if the inhabitants of that village can discipline the child. there is no long lasting psychic trauma from discipline, the trauma comes when children have no guidance and limits.
Sorry to jump on that soapbox there. IMO the worst thing that ever happened to our children was the notion that parents should not spank their kids.
