Michelle Obama shared on her podcast the experience of disciplining her daughters, Malia and Sasha, through spanking. She recounted a few occasions when she used this method before realizing it was not only ineffective but also made her feel 'silly' and 'embarrassed.' In a candid conversation, she emphasized the importance of finding better disciplinary methods that do not involve corporal punishment, reflecting on the need for effective communication with children instead of resorting to physical discipline.
I felt silly.
It took a couple of spankings for me to be like, yeah, you know what?
I felt like, you know, this is a little kid and the fact that I can't think of any better way to get my point across than to smack somebody on the butt - I felt embarrassed.
