or the parent could hold the toddler and get down to their level and point out the dangers

we need more parents like this around the school a few minutes from me, parents wandering across the road because the new gate that opened is 2 minutes walk from the crossing, so they wont walk to it to cross as the poor dears would then have to walk another 2 minutes back, then they start shouting at you if you dare not to stop to let them cross when they are perched in the middle of the street

i think it was already banned in schools which is where the confusion comes in.

I knew a kid when i was growing up that got smacked by his parents almost constantly for the most tenuous of reasons. He didn't change his behaviour at all, he just got slapped more

I always found that my kids know exactly when to behave purely by the tone of my voice, i don't even need to raise my voice. The point being they already know that they are doing something they shouldn't, its called knowing right from wrong and that is the important lesson that a parent teaches. After that, nothing else is needed.

Exactly, I don't know how this is an "out there" concept, people seem to think that not smacking equals no discipline or bad kids, it really doesn't. Never smacked mine and they've always been really good kids (teens now)

The toddler knows never to run into the road because they'll get a smack from a parent. So as soon as a parent isn't around to see them, they think it's "safe" because they won't get smacked.

Here's what saves lives; don't have small children unsupervised next to roads until they're old enough to understand the actual danger.

Or the toddler learns to run out on the road faster to avoid the smack............

Don't let logic get in the way of smacking kids
