Would you smack your child?

i dnt hav children-bt if they were really misbehavin and werent as they were told-yes i would-nt repeated though-it ite b the only way 2 disapline. x

yes,but it would be for something really serious for me to do it.Shouting and the nashing of teeth usually works best.

I have smacked my son twice,both times were for doing something dangerous and he has never done those things again.It was a quick smack to the legs used for shock value and it worked.

I am a very easily stressed person i would need to take some sort of relaxing classes before i even thought of having a kid

i was never smacked as a child so im hoping i will never have any reason 2 smack my son

my child is grown up now when she was growing up if she was very naughty i would smack on the hand so she knew right from wrong never did me no harm growing up i was never beaten

I think that in the most no. But there is the odd time when a wee smack can deal the sort things out.

I think its ok to give your kids a smack on the legs when nothing else works I was smacked when i was young and i turned out alright!!My kids have had a few when they're doing something they know is naughty.

I was smacked as a child, so was my sister and we turned out alright, and I remember thinking, I deserved that! and I did. I was NOT beaten, but I knew I did wrong and so made me not want to do wrong anymore. I think I come from a generation where this home discipline was normal, hence why we respect our parents better than young kids today. I have smacked my children, and only ever had to once or twice, that was bad enough, I dont like to, but it is true, you can only let them go so far and when nothing else works, it really is a last resort.

I dont and dont want too, i use other forns of punishment, ie. game console, tv ban, grounding, earlier bed time ect
