agree. I have talked to hubby about this. if you smack you need to be calm and controlled and explain why to the child- ie I smacked your hand so you remember not to put things into the power socket. violence and abuse happen when an adult reacts out of anger and loses control. big difference.
I have smacked and will probably smack again, and I don't like the judgements from others.
if your not with that person you don't know the whole picture, so send some patience vibes instead of judgements
