Children will some times play the role of victim after a spanking. They may feel their spanking is undeserved and blame others for their misbehavior. Some children will identify with their suffering and play the role of "poor little old me" long after they have been corrected. It can actually become part of their personality. From a spiritual point of view suffering is a positive event, not negative. If you don't identify with your suffering and allow it to label who you are, you can transcend it like Jesus did when he was crucified. Your child moving from an unconscious state (ego) to a conscious one (enlightenment) may require some help from their care giver. Whether it be through prayer, meditation, refection etc. a spanking has to be a conscious event were awareness of love, compassion and forgiveness are promoted; not hatred, anger or rebellion. I did this by ensuring that the children I spanked knew how much they were really loved by not just me, but God as well. Tears of pain soon turned into tears of joy!
