Actually by the time you need to use corporal punishment on
kids.. .. it is already.. very late down the road for discipline
already.
I've had the opportunity to work with kids of a range of ages....
but the ones I had the most problems with were from broken
families, families with a lot of issues, and families that don't
care enough. It is very apparent where the problem lies. Never with
the kid - almost ALWAYS with the parents. It doesn't matter if the
kids came from rich or poor background BUT if there is at least ONE
parent who shows a lot of love (in the correct manner), the child
CAN learn discipline in a short amount of time even if they didnt
have it before.
As far as I see it, losing temper with children is the worst form
of discipline any adult can give. I am not talking about a cane to
the palm of the hand, or a smack to the buttock as a CALM
punishment to something naughty.
BUT If a mother gives a slap to the face of a child who gives her
lip because she LOST her temper, she deserves her punishment.
