To my mind, smacking kids is an easy and lazy option, and shows weakness on the part of the parent. Also, it gives them the message that it's alright for them to smack their kids in the future.Comment

I don't know where the happy medium lies, but I do know that molly-coddling the little darlings is not doing them, or us, any favours.Boom boom boom boom

I had a friend at school who threw a stone at a car windscreen. Car veered off road, struck a cyclist, who was hospitalised. His dad hit him, the only time he ever did, and quite right too. I was never hit as a child, but can understand (as a parent) why his dad did in this circumstance, and would probably do the same myself."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
