[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A swat with a belt hard enough to leave a mark. Kid was acting out all day, hitting grandparents’ dog, pushing people, not listening, whining and spouse gave a warning that the next time he would be spanked with a belt. And of course the kid misbehaved again. I don’t believe in physical punishment but spouse felt time outs and taking toys away weren’t working. [/quote]

It sounds like you have raised a kid who feels it’s ok to run wild. The kid pushed your spouse to a breaking point and he broke. I don’t condone using the belt but what have you not done as a parent that allows your child to act that way. If the two of you don’t get control of your kid it will only get worse. [/quote]

How can you not understand that the family (OP) using corporal punishment is the same family whose child was misbehaving? Connect the dots.[/quote]

Sounds like a one off though. And it. Happened after dad told mom and kid that he was at the end of his rope and mom did nothing despite knowing the kid was going to continue misbehaving. I mean, when one parent says to the other, directly or indirectly, that they’ve had enough and can’t continue to effectively parent in the moment it’s time for the other parent to step in and remove the child so the behavior stops.

No. It’s time for the parent who feels like they will remove their belt and hit a [b]four year old[/b] with it to remove themselves from the situation. Before they hit a [b]four year old[/b] with a belt. The adult who hits is responsible for hitting.
