What are your thoughts on discilpline regarding children?

1 Answer

Answer :

Well I believe that a child shouldn’t be struck, but spanking should be an exception. I have a cousin who is 6 and he hits, climbs on, and abuses his mom, he yells everywhere we go, and thinks the world revolves around him, but my aunt just won’t take it to that level for some reason. Sometimes I just want to get up and tell him to be quiet my way. I say it would all depend on the child’s behavior, if the parents let it get that out of control then they’re to blame as well, but it shouldn’t stop them for doing what they need to do for putting them in their place.
