i'm sure there have been threads on this before........but i would like your views.......i knew as a child when to draw the line..as i would get a smack............my mum and dad r my world......and i don't fear them as a result of smacking(but is was dad more often than not............if i got a smack from mum...i knew i had REALLY REALLY upset her)......... Im talking Smacked(disciplined.........)

And my boy does get told he will be smacked..........do you think people in the street have a right to tell us we shouldn't smack our kid's????????????

Pls dont hang me out to dryxxxxxxxxxxx

Violence doesn't solve anything. Sorry hay's. Thing is if you smack a child it may discipline them for a while but when they don't listen to that smack anymore what do you do next, hit them harder. Sorry I think there's other ways to discipline a child.

Oh let me think ....................... Yep I got smacked, yes it hurt, yes it made me behave, no it didn't leave lasting damage it left a child that grew into an adult knowing right from wrong. Do I smack mine - no- why because I only have to look at them and they know they have pressed the wrong button. I do however chase them and say 'You had better run cus if I catch you you;ll be sorry' Both now run for their county - lol, seriously they do!!!!!!

Mam smaked me and bro if need until we were about 8, after that she only had to count to 3 and we would toe the line. It never did either of us any harm as we knew our boundries and wouldn't cross it on fear of a smack. We only feared the smack, not mam as she was so caring when we were good that we felt bad when she had to smack us as you could see the tear in her eye where her heart was breaking. Dad never layed a finger on either of us, he bark was enough to send us running.

i did get smacked as a child ( not hard enough lol ) my dad never ever smacked me i have tapped my kids hands . i think when the days of smacking was about kids was better behaved and when disipline was alowed in schools kids was better behaved too i think shouting and shutting kids in rooms is far more torture that a slap Rosex

Hays do u have xray vision lol rosex

Lunar....i count to 5!!!LOL!! Does the trick,everytime!!!

I was smacked and looked how I turned out! LOL Gerry :-))

I can see this thread going wrong....................and getting into a row................think i may delete

hays not everyone is going to agree with smacking thats why there are debates but at the end of the day most of the kids who was smacked ( not beaten) are better kids and most did well at school but because todays age says no smackng or this or that well thats why some kids have no respect if the cain was at school i bet most of the kids of today wouldnt be bunking of school Rosex like i said lock the kid in a room shout at him like a mad woman mmm thats scary Rosex

I'm not deleting.................i'm so fed up with all this PC CR..

Your right Rose..........................kids of today that are being brought up by parents that r 'PC' doing the naughty step......etc,,,,,,,,,,,i think i'll shut up.....*zips mouth*xxxxxxxxxxx

Im saying nothing Gerry!!! Look at me!!!!!!!!!!!!xxxxxLOL!!

ur right hays a little smack is soon forgot ( abig whack isnt ) but if u constantly rant at your child and lock them in their rooms im sure that would be worse ( i dont remember the smacks i got i know i did get em though lol) but im sure i would remember being locked in my room especially if they believe in the bogeyman lol god now that is scary Rosex

Tara out of interest how did your parents disipline you??if its not to personalxx

Rose thats horrid xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hays they never smacked me, or shouted at me or locked me in rooms. I/we just knew with there look not to chatback or to stop misbehaving. We have all grown up responsible, disciplined with respect and manner's. Im the youngest at 28yrs old.
