[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the 1970s and my siblings and I hit each other a lot, and our parents spanked us as a punishment (I rarely got spanked as I was a rulefollower, but my older sister was wild and I remember her getting spanked often!). Most families I knew had similar dynamics.

Do I raise my own kids the same? No.

But, I don’t view these as assaults meriting police intervention and I am surprised to read so many posters who do.

I do wonder if respective ages of the posters makes a difference in viewpoints here? [/quote]

I’m also curious where these folks live. There is a lot of spare the rod, spoil the kid type talk. None of that is going to be effective. A kid who lives in a house where he is hit by his brother and is so angry/hurt, he lashes out at his mom, is going to learn emotional regulation by getting his electronics taken away and not being allowed to participate in sports? Makes no sense. But I’m sure it makes people feel like they are doing something.[/quote]
