My god Ammi, how old are you? lol jk but you come across very erm... youthful.

Anyway, that's harsh. If I bumped my head my mum used to hit the door or table or whatever to stop me crying. lol

I guess if you smack your children, in a way its showing them violence is ok. Yes its a very watered down form of violence if its just a tap, but violence all the same.

Just been thinking about this actually...gavs oldest son and daughter were always well behaved and were never smacked. His youngest was/is a little terror and gets smacked quite a lot as he simply does not listen to anything his mother says. He has been in trouble at school quite a lot for hitting other kids. Now I dont know if thats because hes bad behaved in general, or because he thinks its ok to hit others because he gets hit himself (though hit is a bit strong...slight tap on the arse ) but its something to think about.

On the other hand his daugther has never been in trouble for violence. And his oldest has only once, when some other kid hit him so in defence he hit back and burst his nose They tried to give gavs son a detention for that and let the other kid off, because the kid who hit first bled, while gavs kid didnt. There was absolute hell on about that.

No it's just that they seem much more vulnerable and unconscious of the world around them.

OK...my post on the other thread didn't get an anazing reaction, and I later did change my mind, but for older kids, deffo. I honestly don't have the energy to be ****ed about. I have a terrible temper.

Firm believer of strict discipline. Nothing wrong in that.

Seeing as everyones perception of strict discipline is different, thats a pretty broad spectrum.

[GypsyGoth]

I haven't watched this video of the child being beaten (and I don't intend to).

But regarding parents hitting children. I don't think it's right. However I guess I could understand why a parent might do it, like protecting their child against something that could hurt the child more.

It's never right to smack a child.

Violence or any kind of physical abuse is totally wrong and as I've said in many threads, you need to try and get to a place where it's practically non-existent, and by smacking children, that to me just seems to teach a child that it's okay to be abusive or violent. What kind of a message is that? I also think it's morally wrong, nobody should be subject to any kind of physical abuse no matter what their age - it's one of, if not the worst kind of treatment anyone can receive.

At the end of the day if you can't control your child so much so that you have to resort to smacking them, you're not really that good a parent.

Oh and I forgot to add, in the same sense that if you have to resort to violence during an argument, you're obviously a lot less capable of controlling your temper and in a lot of cases, probably a lot less intelligent, I think it's sort of the same kind of thing here. That considering there's many forms of discipline that can be used, if you really do have to resort to physical discipline, something's not too great.
