Any parent who needs to use violence to teach or control a child is doing it wrong.An adult striking an adult is a criminal offence, yet people are campaigning to strike and be violent toward our young population who arent as strong, well developed. Our children have not yet matured to understand the emotions attached to being hit, and I truly believe being hit by a loved and trusted authority figure can lead to long term damage. I was smacked as a child (I love and have a healthy relationship with my parents) but found in my late teens 2 consecutive relationships where I was struck and who were physically violent.
My brother has cinvinctions for violence and I honestly believe growing up in a place where punishment is pain that you grow up to acquire some negative traits and emotions and believe that being hit must have been your fault.
With so many other fantastic ways to raise a happy, healthy and well behaved child - there is no need for this. Parents must also though be made aware of behavioural changes linked to diet to help control the ‘outbursts’ that will happen for no other logical reason.

Absolutely. Who else can protect a child from a loved on if it isn’t the law.
