I grew up in the "whipping" generation....I am in my 50's...BUT I do NOT remember those and I know I got some, but my brothers got more
. What I remember is when my parents said it they meant it and there was no negotiation....it was about respect not abuse.....there was one TV so the family gathered IF it was on....none of us were separate in our own rooms with our own TV.....we sat down together at meals......we played board games......we played ball outside.....we went on vacations together.... I think the "quality time" is what is missing in children's lives....quality time builds relationships and a love/respect relationship.... Just my opinions!
