Good kids respond to non-violent forms of discipline, and violence just makes bad kids (psychopathic, personality disordered) worse. What kids usually had more of in the 1960s was parental and family attention and community. Mom was likely home with them, the neighbors' mothers were home, too, so kids could easily play together outside or at each other's homes, families tended to live near each other and had regular get-togethers with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, and everyone wasn't always on the computer or their phone.
That's your opinion. I go along with what the bible says. I do not consider getting your behind whipped as violent; what I consider violent is when it is BEATEN. That's what took punishment from the hands of the parents. I do agree with you on Mom being home and the neighbors mothers plus playing with neighbor friends. I agree with all of the cousins and aunt and such and not having computers or phones to play on. It is a mixture of many things, but a spanking on occasion for something severe that a child did wrong, I disagree. God bless.
