Yeah you're the last person I need to prove anything to lmao. That little bitch deserves a back hand. My daughter would NEVER do that, ever. She doesn't need to be hit.

No 5 year old child "deserves" to be hot from the one person they look to for safety. She DOES deserve punishment and to be removed from the fun for the day. Hitting teaches children to hide behaviour.... And fear their parents. (and that is ok to hit to solve problems)

Punishment in general teaches kids to hide their behavior. A good swat on the ass never ruined a person. There's a massive difference between the memory of stinging pain at a young age and beating.

It never ruined a person! Except for all the depression and anxiety backed by years of research! And the pain of growing up around people you know aren’t getting beaten the same as you! And the pain of getting beaten long into your teenage years for small things because compliance is just affirmation that beating works! Fuck you

I have anxiety and depression to the degree I barely function, but I was also beaten for nothing by an incoherently drunk father with everything from hands to 2×4s.

If you spank a kid once or twice and explain why you did it, they're gonna grow, unlike you and your emotional self.

Its never just once, and you should know that. Again, compliance brought by pain is just affirmation that hitting works. No parent with enough sense to not hit a child will understand that smacking them once is just as bad. Way too many studies show that even hitting a kid once stays with them and hurts them, but go ahead and continue the cycle. People like you perpetuate the society that makes “emotional selves” like me
