[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hitting a kid just seems so bizarre. The hitter has just loss all control. I'm sure most of us have faced tougher challenges with coworkers than dealing with a little 30 lbs kid who mouths off or takes a toy from his/her sibling or says tonight's dinner is awful. Do you punch your awful coworker who went behind your back or ruined your project on purpose? Of course not, even they probably would deserve it. You don't hit them because you have self-control.

Demonstrate that self control with your children. Lay off little kids. Makes you look like an out of control fool. [/quote]

Well, I am the PP who is not anti-swatting.  My kids are in college and in high school, so we are past that point.  Please note that, in my vernacular, swatting is not the same as beating.  Kid reached for a light socket, her hand would get swatted and she would get re-directed. I never struck my kids out of anger and rarely yelled at them.  My parents were beraters and that was far more abusive than any swat on the hand or bum.

Like I said, OP has the right to insist that HER method of discipline be used. If not, she should keep DS home.  Without going to a debate about what the discipline is, I fully support OP's sentiment. [/quote]
