I was once told that you do not slap a child ten times you hit them once. spare the rod and spoil the child. don't get me wrong I am not into child abuse used to work for DOCS so have seen more than most. I have obviously not read the Slap pleas enlighten me. I am always willing to learn. The one and only time I hit my child was when I was driving along in the car and the then 2.2 year old decided to undo her seatbelt after being repeatedly told no. I stopped the car and got out and went around to the passenger side and opened the door and gave her 3-4 good hard stingy slaps on her thigh. Consequently she never did that again and we had lots of happy trips in the car afterwards. She has not suffered any psychological damage either.
