Total bollocks,
Tell me, how many children have you raised? I am curious to know.
This is the kind of language you use on a public website while talking about disciplining children?It says a lot about you.
Why would i divulge to someone like you how many kids i have raised.
Like i said already bullies hit their children. They are people who don't have the necessary skill set to deal with problems that raising kids brings with it and have to resort to physical abuse.
I have noticed a decline in children's bahaviour in schools over the years, oddly enough it started when the use of the belt in school was removed and teachers were not allowed to discipline children for bad behaviour. When I was at school, even the 'hard nut' kids had some respect for their teachers and certainly for the headmaster, that is something that seems all but gone in schools today (having worked in one I know from first hand experience).

One of my degrees is in Psychology. I know what I'm talking about here. Spanking is poor parenting. I'm not talking about whether it's right or wrong to do so, I'm talking about the effectiveness of parenting based on scientific criteria. If you have to resort to violence you're doing something wrong.
I can't believe how many people are talking out their asses in this thread.

The problem with today's kids is not that parent's aren't smacking them enough, it's that they give positive reinforcements at the wrong times. A kid will whine and whine, and a parent will just give them something to shut them up. They are reinforcing negative behaviors.

bullies.
these parents generally stop hitting their kids when the kids grow big enough to defend themselves,

For goodness sake grow up! I have seen real 'language' on this and other forums so don't be so naive.
A light smack after many warnings does not constitute a bully and if that is what you truly believe then you have a lot of waking up to the real world to do.
I asked how many children you had raised because I suspect you have no actual experience in raising children.

So, if you care about what the BEST ways to raise your children are.... youll admit that hitting them isnt it.
If you care about rationalizing the abuse of children then youll cling to phsyicall abuse as a method of parenting.
