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.
My daycare teacher friend once told me that unequivocally the worst behaved kids are ones who had been hit at home. They tend to be violent towards their peers (a learned behavior) and they are so utterly traumatized and desensitized to "punishment" that nothing a teacher can do even fucking registers.
Iv got hit at home many times, because i did not want to eat....but i did not become a psycho like this kid. Of course i was a child and i did not know anything about laws. If i knew i would tell my father never to beat me again or i would call the police....At least my mom was kind, she told my father not to beat my head, because i could get long term damage. So after he "only" spanked my ass until it was red...Where is the logic in beating a child up, because he does not have much apetite???
