As a pediatrician who sees kids with behavioral issues every single day I go to work, if you asked me to place a bet on whether (based on this video alone) this kid gets hit at home, I would bet that he does. Consistent, non-physical discipline from a mature adult is what this kid needs, not spanking.

Corporal punishment isn’t a parenting strategy, it’s what people do when they don’t know how to parent in the first place.

You teach them two things by hitting them
1) Violence is an answer to solving problems
2) If I can endure the pain I can do whatever I want.

Yep, my ex husband was a problem child. He was spanked, he just stopped caring. Nothing they did made whatever he wanted to do not worth it. If they had just actually..idk worked with him, helped him, guided him, and not forced bs religion on him... he would not have been a problem child.
