I believe in a short sharp slap around the legs or bottom to teach children to behave. After all, it's only natural - look at how lionesses deal with their cubs. It keeps children safe if they are doing something dangerous and hopefully they won't grow up into little yobs who think they can do what they like because nobody can touch them. |

yes it's a very emotive arguement. on one hand, I think the "short sharp shock" approach works well sometimes... the problem is that in some cases it goes beyond that, and that's where the problems lay. Am not sure a total ban is practical though. I know what my father would say.. in his day, if he did something wrong he'd get a clip round the ear and it never did him any harm |

What do you all think about smacking children?I thought that if I ever had children,an odd smack would do no harm and I would want a bit of discipline instilled in them but now that I have a little son,I cant bear to smack him,even a little tap on the hand.Am I being silly?My husband gives him a little tap on the hand and I guess he will be the disciplinarian,not me. |
