I disciplined just like the video, I actualy had teachers call me for advice on child rearing and ask me how I had such wonderful children, they grew up to be people anyone would be proud of! they have never used drugs or abused alcohol and are happily married with careers.
On the other hand in my family of 7 children where we were never never disciplined and in my husbands family of 4 children who were NEVER disciplined the majority became messed up drug and alcohol abusers no careers no goals did poorly in school no college...the rest are severly depressed only 3 out of all of both families total 10 kids turned out moderatly ok.
So your motto is "beat a kid into growing up right!"
Both my parents were never hit/beaten and they have grown to be brilliant parents and people. I know people now that were beaten/smacked as children who now live bad lives full of drugs and bad life in general. I was never beaten/smacked as a child and I have a good family unit and children.
When I punish my children they have to go sit on the "naughty chair". My son hates it the most and will get very upset. I couldn’t imagine how much more upset he would be if I hit him!!! I just couldn’t do it. I’ve been raised with the belief that you should never pick on or attack somebody smaller or more vulnerable than yourself. This to me also includes smacking a child. This is just my beliefs and opinion, just as you have yours in the above quote.

I agree completely, unfortunately there are those who Believe that the only way to teach
a Child that hitting is Wrong, is by hitting them... And that's whats wrong with this world, sadly.
I must have missed those posts.
It aint the only way, but it's a decent tool to have at your disposal.
Plenty of ways to skin a cat, no?

Children need a beating every now and then.
Maybe the kids were failing in class or something, idk, but it didn't look bad at all to me.

Seems to me that people and social systems naturally fall into one of three control loci;
Biological imperative - law of the jungle - need to beat them to control them. (criminals)
Socialised - where just approval/disaproval keeps everyone in line. (traditional values)
Intellectual - where ethical values are the measure of everything. (progressive PC heaven)
Trying to mix them all into one environment creates all sorts of problems - and is probably why the caste system originated.
