Hi all,
I will like to ask of what you think about smacking children? Do you think it is the right thing to do? Where is a line that draws between discipline and abuse?
Personally, I can see why smacking children is necessary at times, but I don't think it is the best form of discipline for a child because at times it can go overboard and it may have an adverse effect on the child (that is may do more harm than good). I don't have any children (I am too young for it) but if I do have children in the future, I don't think I will able to hit my children, because after doing so, I am pretty sure my I will have a heartache seeing that I hurt my child.
