The reason that people do this is because they were brought up to believe that it is an effective form of discipline. However child psychologists have proved that it does children emotional damage and stifles their emotional development. I think that society is changing though.
It has got to a point now where modern parents are not resorting to this. Domestic violence is domestic violence.
What Pippin said. Nice one. I assume you therefore consider that you were damaged because your parents were rude and ignorant?
And that you have raised equally rude and ignorant children? Sorry, I think I'd rather spank. Amazing how you know it all...and yet your fount of wisdom questions are all private, with all their answers to everyone's discipline issues.
Why wouldn't you want people to be able to see them? "How do you think I got to be a specialist teacher of kids with behaviour problems without doing research on the topic?" I don't think you are anything of the sort.
I think you invent your qualifications and background to suit the question you ask each time. If not, make your account public so we can all see that your statements have been consistent over the weeks. Very simple, no?
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.
