Smacking children
I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old both whom I smack.
( lightly on the back of the legs and when they are having hissy fits ). They are very pleasant, intelligent and loving children when I look after them.
But when my wife looks after them she does not smack them and does not really discipline them and they suddenly become rowdy, noisy and very naughty.
I very rarely smack my children now as I just have to change the tone of my voice and they now they are in trouble and they stop being naughty.
I just wanted peoples thoughts on this controversial issue.

Going out, so can't read all the posts, but I think there should be more smacking if naughty. I got smacked as a kid and I have grown up to respect other people and their views and have never been in any kind of trouble with the law, yet kids I see now who aren't smacked are just growing up to be little sods.
hey.. you asked for opinions!
I'm only commenting on my relationship with my children.. I don't think I can change society with my views.
but yes, it's a sorry state of affairs but that's just a general lack of respect and very little value put on life by certain groups.
do you think none of today's yobs weren't smacked? I'll bet some of them were, and some were beaten senseless. and what did that teach them?

My 'kids' r 40, 38 & 30 and have all been whacked for misdeeds.....in some cases saved them from being killed on the road when disobeying.
Ofcourse parents have power over kids - naturally but parents also want their children to survive and allowing them to turn feral by mamby-pamby discipline is only leaving their where-with-all till later when bullies get the better of them.
Dont fool yourself into thinking the population is as gentle as you......children need to know boundaries so sort them out young.
