[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]If you do not want your kids to ever hit anyone, you should not hit them.[/b] It is one of the few issues that is quite clear to me...and I was spanked as a child by otherwise excellent parents. I think it is a loss of control by the parents rather than any kind of discipline.[/quote] +1 to the bold above. We all tell children it's wrong to hit others. If you tell your child, "Don't hit, hitting is wrong," yet then you spank your child, you are sending your impressionable child a mixed signal. A child hears the words "don't hit" but the experience of being hit by the most important person in his world is much more influential on a child than mere words. It's basically "Do as I SAY, not as I DO" from the parent. Actions truly are louder than words with children. Model not hitting by, well, not hitting THEM. And yes, spanking is hitting. [/quote]
