A spanking, in it's true meaning, is just like the TO. A "pop" is not a true spanking. A true spanking should go like this: Your child disobeys. You calmly take him aside, tell him why he is getting the spanking, and then spank him. Afterward, like the TO, you explain why he got the spanking and make sure he understands. Then it is over.
