[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we can clearly see the difference between gentle/neglectful/permissive parenting techniques, and authoritative parenting. A swat on the arm is not beating a child or slapping a child or punching a child. When a child reaches for a hot stove, my instinct will be swatting the arm as I say no. But if you’re part of the permissive or gentle type, you try to reason with the child and they end up getting burned. A swat on the arm will have a lasting memory - touch Larla’s stuff and you get a swat. Redirecting does not have a lasting impact.[/quote] You swatting your child’s arm to keep them safe from the stove is not at all comparable to the situation. You’re being purposefully obtuse. You’re telling me if you found out a teenager you didn’t have a prior relationship with hit your child you’d be okay with it? GMAFB. Everyone commenting here that it’s no big deal would be blowing a gasket if this happened to them. [/quote]
