Re: Parents hitting children
This is one thing hubz and i dont agree on. Personally I dont think theres any harm in giving ur child the odd smack on the butt if they're being bad but hubz is totally against any form of smacking. He feels its just the parent taking out their fustration on the child and its annoyance at urself for not being able to deal with the situation. He also thinks that smacking them doesnt necessarily mean they r going to do whateva it is that u want. Especially young kids , it just upsets and confuses them.
Wheneva my daughter REALLY drives me mad and is having a tantrum i actually just put her down(if we're at home) and i walk away and give her a few mins to calm down by which time she normally has.
Even tho its hard i have to admit tho when i am calm abt the situation, my daughter does what i want. Screaming and shouting at my daughter neva got her to stop doing what it was i wanted her to stop. Hubz is incredibly patient and calm and i have to say she doesnt play up with him. Its hard!
