It’s one of the oldest debates in parenting:  If you’re a parent, or if you’ve just thought about having kids - would you ever spank your child?

This "argument" is far from settled, especially here in Asia where traditional discipline methods still hold strong.

But more parents today are asking: does physical punishment really work, or does it do more harm than good in the long run?

Audrey and Ryan talk about whether or not they spank their kids, whether they were punished as children, and what the studies show.
