[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] Absolutely not. The only time you use any type of force with a child is if you are restraining them for their safety or someone else's, like your stove example. Otherwise, physical punishment or hitting is unacceptable. Use your words.[/quote]
