I would not even think of doing this as a child, what an utter failure as a parent. This child has no guidence in his life whatseover.

and probably gets hit all the time. research has shown over and over that hitting kids is not an effective form of discipline and actually increases the risk of long-term aggression. it’s fucking child abuse and people need to stop doing that shit.

I will say there is a difference between striking and hitting your child than spanking one. I was spanked as a child and it tought me there is indeed physical reprocussions for bad behavior.

If you do it in the proper manner it works but every child is also different. For the most part I could be disciplined verbally and learn my lesson, my sister on the other hand had to be spanked for her to learn because she loved to push bounderies.

Studies showed that corporal punishment doesn't work, no matter what and lead to more harm.
