..yeah the bringing back bit was just a joke and it's just that I have rubbish jokes...but honestly TS that's not true in my experience either, which is more that a child being hit at home in the sense I think that you mean... would be more the child who is less likely to join in with any games whatever they are and generally interact less because whether playing with sticks be appropriate or not and obviously in school it's reinforced that it's not...it's much more of a generally happy, playful and active mind and a worry free mind....obviously there may be some situations that you have said as well but it's also something that shouldn't be assumed, that violence will breed violence and active violence...because violence so often breeds fear and insecurity and a 'dumbing down' of a child...
