It's a tricky subject.
I have written about this before, and one local comment I got was that they do not use their hand to spank; rather they'd use a cane. An Australian friend I was chatting with also mentioned that she would used a wooden spoon, something she learned from ...

You know that feeling when you see your toddler miserable but you cannot do anything about it?
Caitlin has had a bout of colds lately. In only a span of the last 3-4 weeks, she's come down with a cold twice.

"Deh-deeeeeh.. deh-neh-neeeeh.. neh-neh-neh... I can't get no... satisfaction...."
"DADDEE!"
"Yes?" [ Perhaps she isn't ready for Daddee's shower-singing ]
"I need to Ngg Ngg!!" (That's the verb for pooping)

We are watching TV.
Caitlin asks, "What is he doing?"
"He's tapping to the rhythm"
"The what?"
"Ree-them"
"Ree-ver"
"Ree-them"

"... yeah, like that"

Daddee says, "It's not hard- you can do it!"
"No I cannot!"
"Yes you can!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!" [Hey, isn't this a scene with Elmer & Bugs?]
"Up to yooooooooouuuuuuuu..."
Now, that's new.
