If you hit a dog, it's animal abuse. If you hit your spouse, it's spousal abuse. If you hit an old person, it's elder abuse. If you hit your child, it's just called parenting. That needs to end Children are not property and have the right not to be beaten.

Rebekah I've the evidence from parents not spanking children. They grow up self entitled, spoiled and prone to tantrums. We're not talking about abuse. We're talking about a spanking. Big difference.

Your anecdotal evidence does not outweigh decades of scientific research. If you are too impatient to properly communicate at a child's level you will either resort to violence or permissive behavior. Both create the problem you are describing. Those who communicate raise properly developed kids.

😄😄😄😄😄 Yeah, I'll stick to what the problems are with todays children compared to the past. It's stark how children are nothing close to behavior that is acceptable at home in public and in schools. The "decades of scientific evidence?" Well, it's not working.

Not going to bother picking that word salad apart, have fun abusing children while it's still legal. Hopefully the break the cycle and don't become like you.
