Well firstly 20 mins is used wrong. Also, I don't know how the child cooperated so I can't tell you what else

If it's a young child and it isn't working, you just aren't doing it correctly. And you aren't sticking to it hard enough.

ya but i just think giving your child i little tap on the bum or the arm and say "don't do that" is just better . its not even child abuse . abuse is when you're hitting them for no reason leaving marks and cuts

You can result to that if you don't know how to discipline a child but you shouldn't resort to that straight away. Giving them "a little tap on the bum" is in no way better? At first you might think it shows that you have the authority and it's showing the child that they have done something wrong but then they may think it's okay to hit other children in daycare, school etc. when they do something wrong or something your child doesn't agree with

It's wrong but it happens, it shouldn't but it does

You never said a tap, but it's wrong either way. And when we talk about a tap, surely that only applies for the likes of a two year old? Hitting your children is not needed and is the lazy way for parenting --- most of the time it doesn't always succeed too. I can understand back many years ago when it was seen as the correct and only way to discipline your child, but times have changed.

Everything dilusionate said above, too.

People who are supporting smacking have only two arguments for it

1. Children are annoying and they sometimes need a good lesson
2. I WAS SMACKED WHEN I MISBEHAVED AND LOOK AT ME NOW!!!!!

and obviously ignoring the fact that child psychologists (who obviously have vast knowledge on this topic) do not prefer this method
