ps how are there still people who think "i got smacked and i was fine" is relevant here ππ It is as simple as this: You can't react to your kid's undesirable behaviour with violence and have ANY credibility when you tell them not to solve things with violence. Don't teach your kids to hit people when they don't like somebody's actions? It's not rocket science? If you were never smacked out of frustration, annoyance or anger instead of PURE "aw yeah, this is the only way to punish my kid. talking to them or taking away a toy isn't realistic" then i am sorry pal but you're lying.
you got smacked because you pissed somebody off
