Anyone that would abuse a child should not be allowed to keep that child. Abuse is not discipline and it's also not spanking. Spanking or as I prefer to call it - "a swat" - is merely an attention getter. Every parent must have some way to snap an overwrought or out of control child back into a calm state of mind. If a "swat" doesn't do it for you and you can control your child with merely a look or soothing word - that's great! But....if you are not spanking but also not controlling an undisciplined child, then you "must" find a way to bring balance and peace to your home. I encourage all of you reading this to check out www.mommydetective.blogspot.com in the near future for a series on children vs. The Dog Whisperer. I think it might open your eyes to the real purpose of discipline and controlling our children.Debbie Jansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081670752103539862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904534210976358782.post-14268763892515310702010-02-27T12:08:35.189-08:002010-02-27T12:08:35.189-08:00I disagree with your point of view.

Parents hit, shove, push, slap, yell and cause tantrums that we all have to put up with and listen to. I'm sick of it and its about time this country take the actions to protect children that most of Europe has come to know(primarily sweden etc...)anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10675934666678938215noreply@blogger.com
