I think that she knows perfectly well that hitting and spitting are extremely naughty, and knowing how to react without traumatising her is so hard.

However, with my 2, I tried a few smacks with our eldest (who has mild aspergers and ADHD) when his behaviour was so bad we were at our wits end as nothing seemed to make an impact, like Kerryonliving,SLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798928236292641626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227082931063397213.post-15206287258674603642010-12-18T21:11:55.118+00:002010-12-18T21:11:55.118+00:00I have been smacked by my parents.

I don't particularly think it got better results than other non-smacking methods though and in an ideal world I definately wouldn't resort to it. God, parenting sucks sometimes doesn't it....!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09719759269125516201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227082931063397213.post-59928806963560197552010-12-15T13:38:57.250+00:002010-12-15T13:38:57.250+00:00Oooh, spitting - one of my pet hates!

I think a smacked bottom does no harm, Amy's had a few in her time though I wouldn't do it now, she's almost as big as me!<br /><br />CJ xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227082931063397213.post-37610501151521030072010-12-15T13:02:52.790+00:002010-12-15T13:02:52.790+00:00I dont remember ever being smacked by my parents, ...I dont remember ever being smacked by my parents, my mum is hugely anti smacking. For me though if I ever did anything like that I would have expected the full fury of my mothers tounge. She had a loud voice that when required was used. I cant put my finger on it but there was something about it that meant we never did the same thing twice, we learnt immediately not to do whatever it was that hadHayleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762809087711811813noreply@blogger.com
