[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son needs help learning how to control his emotions.  I would tell him that he is never, under any circumstances, allowed to hit a person.  Nor is a person ever, under any circumstances, allowed to hit him (sorry spankers but your "logic" is a ridiculous excuse to vent your abuse.  [b]I sincerely hope your child reports you to the authorities and believe me, if I come across a child who tells me his or her parents hit I will report it every single time[/b]).

Anyway, you need to tell him in a calm moment the things that he is permitted to do when he is angry:  hit a pillow, squeeze a stress ball, jump up and down, run in circles.  Then tell him that if he hits you again he will be put in his room and lose __________ privilege (tv time or whatever).  And then you need to figure out what is triggering him in those moments so that he can learn how to cope better.

Good luck.[/quote]

And they will laugh at you every single time because in most states, spanking is still legal.  And you may find yourself the recipient of a lot hate from those parents you report on for doing nothing wrong in the eyes of the law. Sorry, you are not the law.[/quote]
