Sorry but bollocks :shock:
Sorry but there is no need to smack hard enough to leave a mark...
If a child is raised with values then a slight smack is more than sufficient....
See my daughter for proof of that....
A light tap on the backside devastates her and she is 11 now...
My son is a different kettle of fish in as much as he suffers from a mental illness but still doesn't get smacked hard enough to leave marks....
Its bollocks to think its right and proper to smack so hard as to leave marks regardless of the reasons....
And i fail to see what the level of stubborness of a child has to do with anything but no doubt you will attempt to justify your actions in a wee while....
Excatly thats bollocks indeed a smack should be within reason no need to bruise your kids in the name of punishment or discipline
Looks like someone doesn't read. I specifically said not to bruise. The marks I'm referring to are red marks, not a full on bruise.
I just love the way people see what they want to see.
allow me to quote your own words pls
"Pain is required otherwise there is no point in smacking in the first inflict enough short,sharp pain to an older child requires sufficient force to leave a mark of some not reffering to bruising by the way .Im refering to a red you dont want to leave a weal then dont bother smacking use some other method of punishment"
what the difference between a bruise and a red mark???not every kid is pale or have a skin colour to produce red marks after short and sharp pain
well i rest my case,off to see about a goat
Good evening all
