Do you have children Dan? In this case I think I would have failed if I had not spanked my son.
The reason why spanking is so effective is it ties the action and punishment very close together. Children get pretty used to you yelling at them to stop doing something they want to do, so when they do something really dangerous you need to have someway of getting across to them that whatever they have done should never be done again. Spanking is a tool that should be rarely used, but I have no issue with being used in the appropriate situation.
- DanBC 11y agoI do have children. I don't hit them when I've been inattentive in dangerous situations.
- danieltillett 11y agoI don’t hit my children either - I used to smack them on rare occasions which is very different. In regards a child playing with a power point this is not a case of being inattentive - you cannot watch what a child does every second of the day inside your own home. It is probably worse for a child to be watched every second of their life than for them to have some freedom and the occasional smack. Can I ask if your children were placed in child care when they were young?
