What you have in your heart will be revealed through what you have in your life.
If things are going badly in our circumstances, the answer to what is happening to us outwardly is more often than not found in the mirror.
Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly before - this is what I meant. There is a clear difference between "hitting" and "smacking".
And it's also true that discipline does not always involve physical affliction. Some kids just need a damn good telling off.
I guess it's about finding a balance, really. The extreme of beating the shit out of a kid who does something wrong is cruel and barbaric. But the other extreme, of sitting there and going "my child is such a precious little perfect who never ever does anything wrong ever" and letting them get away scot free with EVERYTHING, is also wrong.

What is this world comeing to
Fucking lesbian liberal tree hugging amoral bitches wouldn't understand the word "violence" it it stood up and hit them in the face.
Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
Person who lightly smacks their children comes under police scrutiny, sweating over whether they will exercise their discretion and not prosecute.
Compare and contrast with man who beats seven colours out of his kids...and gets a 6 month sentence reduction. http://stuff.co.nz/4500292a12855.html
Thanks Labour for another BIG reason not to vote for you.
And if you think it's not Labour doing this, then look no further than the tipping upside down of the justice system away from focusing on the victim and punishing criminals, to helping the offender and giving them underfloor heating, XBox and 42" plasma TVs to 'rehabilitate' them...that's really gonna encourage them not to reoffend, eh?
BS
It's back..."Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
whats happened to the parents right to disipline there child as they see fit as the kid was beeing rude a quick clip across the ear prob sorted. mine did it to me when thet thought i deserved it hasnt hurt me at all taught me what the boundaries of accetable behaviour is and what wasnt tolerated at all.
Although we may disagree about approach and the emphasis on legislating correct behaviour (which historically has always been unsuccessful), the problem is not likely to be the "reasonable" parents who participate in this forum... whichever side of the legislative divide we come down upon.
Say what you will but there is a difference. And if you don't believe me read the examples in this thread where people talk about being disciplined by a "clip across the ear" as insane1 said. Is he saying that he was viciously abused? no, he was actually saying it did him good.
