I am a mother of 4 kids. I just had an idea recently, since it's hard spanking my two older girls the way I spank my two younger ones (over my lap with my hand). I am thinking about buying a paddle to use. Does anyone know how to use a paddle for spanking?

If it's hard spanking your older children maybe you should find an alternative. there are other ways to be punished.

You're horrible. A paddle?? Really - ask your husband to smack you with a paddle when you do something wrong - that will be a great way to learn.
I hope someone calls CPS on you.

There is another post here about spanking, i suggest you check it out

NO!! A paddle is TOTALLY uncalled for. Your hand is the only thing you should use to spank a child with. How old are your girls? I think you need to reasses you discipline methods (not being rude, just honest). If you have to hit your girls that hard then its abuse. I suggest parenting classes specilizing in disipline. This does not mean you are a bad parent, but if you don't seek help you will be one. I know this sounds aweful but think about you kids and what you are teaching them. GET ASSISTANCE, GET HELP, WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS WRONG!

I don't spank any of my children with anything, I think spanking is abusive and just wrong-take some parenting classes so you can deal with children a little more.
