I`ve already made my point clear on this subject so i`m not going to repeat myself....but what i feel strongly about is the fact kids don`t need slaps or smacks...they need the right up-bringing from the day they were born, and a load of patience! If they are given that guidance there should be no need for physical abuse...which turns into mental abuse!

F*cked up kids come from f*cked up parents...

Hope this helps

What absolute bullsh*t

If you have the perfect kid in the perfect world then the no smacking rule wouldn't even come into the equation!

My views are already posted,so why not agree to disagree,cos this can go on forever

what is the point of just talking to a kid if he/she has done wrong? they'll just do it again! give them a good shoeing and they'll think twice about it!

It did me no harm, i was always warned to do as i was told or i would get a "hot !*!@# " (smacked on the bum) and i knew how much it hurt so i tried my best to be good. I plan to use this method if i ever have children, it worked really well with me, i really respect my parents now.

There are to many do-gooders now. I think there is a big difference in disciplining a child and abusing a one.. We are talking about a smack here not a full blown assault lets get this right. I think the kids have decided that they are in charge because they are not taught that its their responsibility if the've done wrong and thats because everyone is frightened to do anything about it as it's their so called rights. I don't think there is anything wrong in having a reason to be afraid that a smack will happen if bad behavior is happening child line and ethser rantzen has a lot to answer for.

A sensible line doglover, hear, hear.
