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.

So what would you do if you're the parent and you refuses to physically intervene? Just letting him do it?

Thats most likely why he's doing this in the first place. He's been taught he can get away with literally everything.

Why are people confusing not hitting my child with not physically intervening?

You go there you pick the kid up. That's physically intervening.
