discipline

Hmm when i was younger i use to get the occasional slap on the butt but nothing much, not anymore though even though my mum smacked me around the head once cause i did something bad, and that hurt.

Like once i walked off to my friends house across the road (i wasn't allowed) (was about 5) and this was bad, cause i walked on my own for about 5-10 minutes etc and my dad was like really cross and smacked my bum i remember being really angry, but meh i suppose the occasional slap does teach you a lesson, it's when it gets really abusive when it does the harm.

I can't really say much. I got beaten with a belt when I was bad...But you have to live with it.

I think hitting a child is wrong,
That would teach them that its Ok to hit someone, which propelly wouldnt help them later on in life, Its just as effective to sit down and talk to them

Negotiation is the key... jeez that sounds corny.

A 4 year old kid wouldn't respond to talking, soph.

Funny, i was going to make a thread on this a while ago.
But yeah, this morning my friend came to school crying and she doesnt usually cry... shes 16 by the way.
And she told us all that she had just like got thrown out her house by her, not even step dad yet. He kept slapping her round the face and kicking her, when i went to her house he threw her into the table and she cut a bit a of her face - i was just scared to be there so i headed back home. And he kept telling them that shes useless all the time. Her mum is scared of leaving him because he's hit her before and she has a child with him. Once my friend even said that she'd had enough of her little sister - as a joke. Because shes only 2. And Tim - her not even dad. - started kicking her and yelling at her that she shouldnt say stuff like that - even if its a joke.
I hate people like that, good that i have normal parents!
Emmy..

meh, I kicked out when I was 17 and lived under a bridge for a couple of months... you get over it... you grow up quicker... but in the end it makes you a stronger person
