[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you that spank, how do you teach your children to not hit other's in anger? If Johnny steals your child's ball on the playground, Johnny is wrong, is it ok for your child to hit him? How do you explain "don't hit other kids, but I will hit you when it suits me"?[/quote] I just responded to another question re: spanking. We use it sparingly, and we don't hit her in anger. We haven't had any issues with her hitting other kids. There's a fundamental difference between parents spanking a child for infractions, IMO, and hitting another child on the playground. In cultures where there's a lot of respect for parents, and spanking is routine and NBD, this doesn't feel like a contradiction. I would expect an association between actual childhood physical abuse and playground violence, but not between occasional spanking and playground hitting.[/quote]
