Should my friend who is a foster mother lightly smack her foster children?

Certainly. Better they learn a lesson today than go through life and commit a mistake that can't be rolled back. Sometimes physical punishment is necessary to instill discipline and the idea that their actions have consequences, It should always come with some time to think and a talk to ensure the child actually learns why they were punished.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
