- otabdeveloper4 6y agoSo what is the child betraying when he/she hits the parent?
- steve_adams_86 6y agoThe child hasn’t had the opportunity to develop their reasoning faculties or learn to weigh the needs or desires of others with their own and circumstance. As parents we have the choice to use reason and patience. We can understand that children are developing and need support from adults to do so effectively. To hit them would show a lack of understanding, control, reason, and temperance. These are bad things to teach.

This is true, certainly. > The child hasn’t had the opportunity to develop their reasoning faculties You're mistaken if you think that poor self-control is predicated on a lack of logical reasoning. But anyways, point is that no trust is lost when a parent hits a child; children don't apply that kind of transactional logic to personal relationships. We only learn that much, much later when we get to the politics that underlie school and work environments.

- TomK32 6y agoPlease do remember that children are humans who still learn how to interact socially. They often lack ways to express feeling and don't yet have full impulsive control. Last but not least, they live as their parents are.
