Hi cantbetamed
I have never seen or heard of an adult smacking a child with calmness it is usually an act which comes with anger and frustration - so what do we teach our children? When you are angry or frustrated, hit and smack? I have a 17 year old son and in all of his life I have never laid a finger on him - he is respectful and a really nice guy, doing well in school and generally a nice person with a lot of friends.
What I did instead, as you ask, is I talked to him, I explained why he was wrong to do whatever it was that he had done and when he was younger I asked him what he thought should be his punishment. He used to set his own, he would hand over his favourite toy or game and I would hold it for a week.
I dont write a lot on here, I am always lurking around having a nosey tho lol and I dont want to come across as preaching but there are other ways.
Regards
J

Good on you Charlie.....you are the parent and you want only to keep your children safe at any cost....Its a parent duty to their children...that is how life has turned, i feel sad for children growing up they wont get to play out doors the way i did in my neighbourhood, or talk to people on the street without fear.

Nuala,
You have many children right? Are they able to enjoy a simple childhood without fear of violence?
I live in a very small town population 550, so I basically know everyone and have lived here my entire life. I don't lock my car doors at night, don't have to worry about violence on a daily basis. My children are able to ride their bikes and play outside without fear for their immediate safety, but I don't allow them to play unsupervised because anything can still happen.
Three weeks ago a man down the street from me barricaded himself, wife and two small children in the family's home. The wife managed to contact police and there was a subsequent 8 hour standoff at gunpoint. The man drank himself into a drunken stupor and passed out in the house and thank god the wife & children escaped unharmed. The man in question was taken into custody and put into a phsyciatric ward for evaluation. These were people who had moved into the new development and I have no idea as to their identity.
It just goes to show that even in small towns there are isolated incidents of violence, it's everywhere.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of correction will drive it far from him.
