Just been reading in a paper over lunchtime that the NSPCC is launching an ad campaign to stop parents smacking their kids.
I put it to you:
Is this a good thing?
Now, we all know that beating kids is wrong, and child abuse is terrible and needs to be stopped.
BUT, should smacking your kids, when it's been naughty or whatever (for a genuine reason is what I'm trying to get across) be frowned upon in society?
Both me and my brother were smacked as kids when we played up, and I've not turned into some homicidal axe murderer or anything.
I feel that smacking should be allowed. Afterall, how to kids learn? Through praise and punishment. Praise them (give them sweets/treats etc) when they do something right, and punish them (smack them) when they do something wrong.
It could be argued that that the recent rise in child crime, and general child misbehaviour could be linked to the decline in smacking kids as they're growing up.
It could also be argued that smacking kids could lead to them being violent themselves when they grwo up.
I intend to smack my child(ren) if they misbehave when I have them.
What do you feel about all this?

I don't need to MAKE them fight, they go at it anyway.
Honestly, if Malibu is laying on the floor, and Georgia crawls by, Malibu will try to kick Georgia. So Georgia climbs on top of her. Only Malibu gets a bit rough because she's bigger, or Georgia tries to bite, so I have to stop it.

I think that it is the only way that kids learn respect these days. I look at all my younger cousins, and think "I'd never talk back to an adult like that when I was a kid", I don't even really talk back to my parents now, and I'm 19!
Of course child abuse is wrong. I don't think anyone would argue against that, but kids these days don't just need protection, they need some discipline too.
I heard a story the other day on the radio: A father had told their kid, if a teacher tells you to do something you don't want to do, just say no. They can't do anything to make you.
What sort of an example is that to set a child? In fact, I think that letting kids get away with things like that is far worse than smacking them when they do something wrong.

I still agree with Snuggly, you should make your two fight.
I think it's up to the parent to discipline the child in a way they see fit.
Mind you, I'm always pushing Malibu over for a laugh, because I think the way she says "Hey! Stop pushing me ober!" Is funny. That's not a typo, by the way, she says 'ober'. Oh, and I catch her, or only push her onto soft stuff, before you think I'm cruel.

I'd beat mine like a carpet.
