I believe there are so many other, more effective ways to communicate and get your children to behave other then merely hitting them. To me, it's taking the easy way out to execute that kind of punishment.
Kids aren't born little brats, they learn to be. If you correct the bad attitude early- the right way- there's less of a chance they'll continue that behavior.  |
I don't know, looking back on my childhood, I'd much rather take PHYSICAL punishment than Mental... My dad was in the Military and could mess with your mind! I would have preferred being smacked a few times and having it done with. Sometimes the mental punishment could last the whole day and night!
