I know it's pretty unpopular a sentiment and I can see why, but I generally don't think smacking your child is that bad... it's unpleasant, sure, and it can be overused and quickly turn into abuse, but I think in cases of extreme bad behaviour it can be justified, and for all my faults with my upbringing, my mum slapping my ass every once in a while asn't one of them
I just think people are too weak-willed generally to set up these complicated af Supernanny hierarchical structures where you have different timed punishments, and sitting on a stair... I just don't think it does anything that "punishing" to a child. And how easy is it to cave and give back a kid's Xbox or phone because they won't stop throwing tantrums about it being taken off of them?
All this said, I would never be comfortable with it taking place in schools.
