If your TWO YEAR OLD child continues to misbehave after the first 'smack', what level of smacking do you aim for next?
Two years old is too young for a smack, it would have no more effect than trying to reason with it... at that age you just have to put up with it... and to reiterate my earlier post, the point of a smack is not to inflict pain or suffering - but it is an effective reminder of where a boundary has been crossed |

Plenty of support for hitting children on here.
A few have reproduced my whole post, but not answered one individual question Let us assume your child is 2 years old, and you smack it on the bum. The first time you do it, it probably comes as a shock to the child. We'll assume for arguments sake that it didn't hurt, as a nappy would have absorbed most of the force. Now try to answer just one question. If your WO YEAR OLD child continues to misbehave after the first 'smack', what level of smacking do you aim for next?[/b] Softer? The same? Harder? Only MisterBadger has answered. What about you other children smackers? |

Let's move on then. If your FIVE YEAR OLD child continues to misbehave after the first 'smack', what level of smacking do you aim for next? Softer? The same? Harder? |

It's all about tactics isn't it??? Learning how to keep the child under control. If smacking does the job then so be it. I can't imagine a parent putting a lot of thought into increasing the pain of the smacks. I think it's just one of those spur of the moment things where you do what you feel is necessary at the time.

If I came and asked you to do something you didn't want to do at work, as your boss, would it be okay if I clumped you until you did it? |

Really? Try smacking a 16 year old 6 footer on the arse. |

I've always wondered not being a parent, how does it make you feel afterwards? Guilty, no different, all empowering?
I can't ever envisage a scenario where I would smack a child. I have failed in my duty if it's got to that point imo. |

I always thought it was one of the perks of the job. Like 'Parents Privileges' sort of thing.
