For the record, I’m not condoning or advocating for corporal punishment, this is just my personal experience!

My dad was a strict disciplinarian growing up and his favorite punishment was the belt. Butt naked, bent over, his belt striking my ass. I got the belt until I was 19 and moved to another city for university. Looking back, I believe the belt had quite a positive impact on my life: academically, behavior wise, discipline, being responsible, taking care of my body and health, eliminating procrastination, etc. I never felt traumatized.

Is my outlook just a coping mechanism or something?

  Then yes, I believe you are coping. I really believe If you make it to your 30’s and still think hitting children is a good way to teach them lessons, it’s because there is something broken inside of you.
