Say what you will about Nicole "Snooki," Polizzi but there's no denying that she's a great, hands-on mom these days, especially given the fact that she's put her "Jersey Shore" style parting days long behind her. The Garden state native recently opened up about how she would never consider spanking her two children, Lorenzo, 3, and Giovanna Marie, 20 months, just because she was "terrified" as a child whenever her parents did it to her.

Speaking to People Magazine during their Mom Talk series on Wednesday she said, "I grew up with spanks and it terrified me."

But when it comes to how she deals with her children's tantrums, she explained, "I literally just walk into the kitchen, ignore them ... and then they come over and they say, 'I'm okay now.' I'm at the stage of parenthood right now where I just need to stop entertaining them. The more you pay attention to that [kind of behavior], the worse it gets."

And it seems like a lot of her fans agree as many have commented with, "You are making a wise decision, Snooki. Good for you!" along with, "Would you ever put your hands on another adult? No. So why do people still think it's ok to spank a child?"

Another fan wrote, "I never thought I would say this but I actually agree with Snooki here. There are so many other ways you can discipline a child without spanking them. It's called parenting, people! Don't be lazy about it."

Snooki and her husband, Jionni LaValle have been married since 2014. The 28-year-old has managed to stay out of the headlines in the last few years as she's dedicated most of her time to being a stay-at-home mom.
