[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is a parent open-handed face slapping a child or teen constitute abuse? [/quote] As a one time thing I don't consider it "abuse" per se, but I also don't believe that humiliation is a good motivator so slapping someone in the face would not have a good chance of achieving anything positive. I'd rather use my words to get through to someone--child or adult. I have placed my hands on my children's shoulders (not grabbed or held with force) in order to get them to look me in the face and pay attention to my words. I wouldn't want to be slapped in the face so I don't choose that method of discipline with my kids. [/quote]
