A smacked arse will make a child cry, but it doesn't physically hurt them that much (they'll hurt themselves much more playing with their friends and laugh about it) The reason they cry is because they realise they've done wrong and let down the people who love and care for them, and that makes them think twice about doing it again. |

As I said in another thread being a parent doesn't mean you are suddenly gifted with magical powers and the becoming the absolute oracle on parenting overnight. Everyone in this thread and has been a child who had parents and so are as qualified to talk about their own opinions and experiences on how they were disciplined and how they will discipline . I was smacked, did me no harm my parents were fantastic, I don't smack my son, I am a good mum....two very different experiences in one family turned out ok, my son is practically an angel compared to a lot of kids his age (who may or may not receive a crack for bad behaviour)

Funny thing is - I said once that my mum gave me a good hiding when I was little and asked him (jokingly) if he wanted one.......he said yes. Had no idea what it was but heard the good thing and thought it was a treat.....:laugh: |

And that being said, I do believe that people who hit their children could do much better. |

Same with mine, people were always commenting on how well behaved they were when they were young, course my daughter is 18 now so an adult really, still doesn't even drink :idc: |

Thinking about it though, maybe how the smacked child turns out as an adult is down to the kids dna rather than the smacking...lots on here were smacked and it looks like some dealt with it better than others....

Smacking a child shocks the child, and they realise the seriousness of what they have done, while talking to them can go in one ear and out of the other, most children don't have a great attention span. |

I still don't know if you were smacked or not, your mothers experience was horrible I appreciate why she wouldn't want to revisit that with her own kids no matter how traditional. |
there's nothing wrong with a quick slap every now and then, it never did me any harm. so long as it's a fairly rare occurrence, and so long as it's not too hard of course.
