It's easy to say things on the Internet, not so easy when you are dealing with a strong willed individual.
Then I guess you should have been the adult in the situation no? Adults don't hit other adults do they?.

Because making you do countless push-ups or run until you are exhausted is better?.
I would never respect an authority that hit me. That's certainly not what I learned about leadership and discipline the 10 years I served as a Sailor.
Only when they have to.Then I guess you should have been the adult in the situation no? Adults don't hit other adults do they?.

A level of callousness I should not be surprised by.Both, actually.
I put the thread in comparative religion for a purpose. It is very interesting to me how the pros and cons relate to religion, or lack of religion. So far it seems to me the non-religious are in favour of non-violence with regard to children. I'll have to find studies.A level of callousness I should not be surprised by.
TOTALLY agree with that position.The other thing that's important to remember is that kids are all different in learning styles. Not one size fits all. I'd certainly try a lot of stuff, as we have so many more known options. At school I used peer counseling, time outs, but mostly just chats. It depends on their age as well, as developmentally, the ability to understand varies a lot.
I think you have been hurt. (to be honest)So you beat them with a toy amd humiliate them?
What mamma don't know won't hurt her was a guiding philosophy of my childhood. She would too say I stopped so it must have worked. No, I learned how to cover my tracks so I wouldn't get caught.
Corporal punishment is committing violence against a child. If you think it's not, then you also don't suppose that it has any purpose whatever. But violence is NOT necessary, nor is it very effective, in teaching a child not only right from wrong, but HOW to understand why something is right and something else is wrong.Times, they are a-changing. The wiki article shows when various countries abolished it completely. What is your religion's take on it? What about your country? How about you personally?
Corporal punishment - Wikipedia
Letting your child be a terror will not serve them well in life.
You are actually helping them by using discipline.
One of mine went into the military...can you imagine how he would have fared if he had never learned beforehand that authority must be respected?
Only when they have to.
Funny you said it doesn't work that way then illustrated that it does indeed.That isn't how discipline works. And the purpose of those instances are to build group solidarity, because we all did it together. regardless of who it was that made a mistake.
Hitting a child doesn't teach group solidarity. It teaches fear, and that hitting another is ok.
I disagree. I can certainly think of situations where I would hit an adult.There never is a need to.
Funny you said it doesn't work that way then illustrated that it does indeed.
Are you seriously saying that the military doesn't teach you to fear punishment? Even more so when others are punished for your screw ups.
Lol, they certainly do use it! They can punish you physically much worse than a smack on the rear.You seem to have learned nothing, physical punishment teaches you nothing. Not even the military use it.
Like what?I disagree. I can certainly think of situations where I would hit an adult.
They removed drill Sargent "shark attack" methods years ago. They can't touch you anymore. If they do, they're subject to removal and lawsuit. And what do you know, teamwork scores and criteria much improved by not having NCO's screaming and beating people. What a concept.Funny you said it doesn't work that way then illustrated that it does indeed.
