(other guest here) No you miss the point, purple_sleevies. People can't just say "Everyone should be vaccinated". To be pro all the way is as stupid as being contra. It's about a differentiated view on a complex topic.

The last guest post wasn't from me ("The kid shuts up because ...") but I agree.
This sentence is especially important: Kids don't work like adults. Empathy and other social "skills" aren't fully developed at a young age. If you're interested read some books about pedagogy.

Of course kids aren't able to understand everything and there's not always enough time to explain something. The point is: there are alternative ways to handle situations like these apart from spanking (and physical violence is little better than verbal abuse). Being overstrained doesn't justify violence in any form.
Again: It makes it better for you. It makes it worse for the kid. Set priorities. And keep in mind how you want to be treated.

How can you spank kids with respect to their dignity?
If you spank your kids they might refrain from doing this or that but just because they are scared that you'll spank them again. It doesn't make anything better (except that you have some piece and quiet the easy and cowardly way), they probably still don't understand why their behavior was wrong. You just shake their confidence. No matter how "soft" you do it. That's a poor justification for abusing the own power as a parent.
I'm sure the Pope doesn't want to get spanked when he does something wrong, neither do you, neither do I. Kids aren't grown-ups but you should treat them at least with the same respect.
