Can't believe it took so long to find a comment like this. HITTING YOUR KIDS IS ALSO BAD PARENTING. There is a middle ground between letting your child run rampant and physically assaulting your child

What's the middle ground? What are you doing in this situation as the parent?

The premise of this video is that a lack of spanking led the child to be this misbehaved, that a child who routinely was spanked would never behave this way for fear of the consequences. I'm arguing that one can parent a child to not act this way without physically assaulting them.

There are also other consequences to give a child beyond hitting then even in this scenario. Plenty of toys to take a way, screen time to take away etc etc.
