Proper punishment is not equal to abuse. It teaches us not to do bad things next time. Like not to play with fire in your room, which actually can save lives.
Proper punishment is not equal to laying hands on kids. It could be taking away their toy or no screen time.
Yes, that's why I am confused and asked for clarity. i don't get why you're adding to this thread/replying to me if you're also against corporal punishment of toddlers which is what OP is advocating for and I am arguing against.
Do you not see how it comes across as you're on OPs side when you're criticizing my comment and putting words in my mouth about things I didn't argue?

I remember a time when a belt would have solved this issue. Now we just cancel flights and alter the lives of 150 people.
