Of course i would never just punish my child.

Thats when it has gone too far. But i grew up this way, i respect others and i know not to do things because if i did i something i wasnt supposed to then i would be punished. Punishment is not a bad thing. Abuse is a bad thing.

I am not saying it should be taught that way. I will never beat my children, ever. But as a last resort i will pop them if they need it. not to hurt them but to let them know. and after that i will talk to them and explain why it happened. i do beleive children today do not get enough discipline. Just look at those kids that are going around and playing "the knockout game." that is the stupidest thing ever.

Why?
