Abuse: Parents smacking children.

[!x!dude!x!2]

And all I'm saying is, I've answered all your questions so read back. And it does work. BUT... It won't work if parents don't stick with it. But discipline is different for younger people as mentioned in several of my posts from before. But no matter how old the child is, violence is never the answer.

taken stuff you be easier with the bigger kids because if you hit the teens well they will fight back.
but like i've stated a million times . giving a little tap on the bum and saying don't do that and make them say they are sorry if not a bad thing. no where is it abuse. and it doesn' harm the child at all

My opinion sticks. There's no need for it when it's quite easily done without using your hands (hard to begin with, of course... But it gets easy)

I think it depends on the child and what you define as smacking. A hard tap so the child acknowledges you is useful for some children, or a light smack. Sometimes verbal discipline doesn't work while with others it does.

Also legislation wouldn't work. We have laws to protect adults, which is one argument, yet adults are still disciplined (for want of a better word) with smacks. The courts more often than not wouldn't care unless there is proven distress, and often the court will redefine what unlawful personal violence is and measure up whether or not the adult (or child) is actually distraught from it.

Also smacking is very different to the laws which cover adults (referring to the argument that we protect adults, why not children?). Mainly because smacking isn't really that much of a problem unless it becomes violent. There is a fine line between a smack and a forceful, physical abusive action, but it's definable.

If the time out chair didn't work it was used wrong

Agreed. You should hit the child with it

oh god, that made me laugh .

But seriously, hitting is just pointless and it doesn't always work. If anything, it makes your child scared of you and for some it does have long-lasting effects on them. Things can be solved without violence, as long as you're willing to have the patience.

yes that's a chance that could happen . but you aren't hurting the child with a spank. ( which is less than a hit) you spank them on the bum.


but if your spanking your child and its turning to you beating the kid later on them you aren't a fit parent

If there's a chance that your child can learn bad things from it, why would you take that chance?

You tap kid 1
Kid 1 thinks it's okay so hits another kid 2
Kids don't understand their own strength
Kid 2 gets hurt

I think personally i don't agree with parents smacking their children simply because most parents use it as a punishment if the child does something wrong however, its been proven that there are other methods to discipline children.

Do you have any relevant experience in looking after children at all?
