[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 98420, member: 1550"] I'm not against a swat on the butt if a toddler runs in the street, but "whipping" sounds like he'd use a rod or something and spank a bare butt--I'm very against that and so is social services. He could be asking for big trouble. I don't think difficult children respond to being hit. As they get older, that can teach them to hit others and even attack adults back. I had to witness a difficult child teen attack his father after his father made a menacing move towards him. The police got called and they both got a warning about getting nailed for domestic abuse (difficult child was 17). Father would often try to get physical with his son. Strangely, difficult child would listen more to his mother, who had ironclad consistent rules and never used physical force. He still respects her and resents his father (he is 30 now and doing a lot better--he has Aspergers). I don't spank because easy child's don't need that sort of discipline, difficult children don't benefit from it, and in my opinion it's just plain wrong and sends the wrong message to a child. And you can get into big trouble if there is a bruise on your kid. At least you can in Illinois and Wisconsin.
