Spanking a child for hitting

Hi, Hitting a child may bring forth grave consequences if not done properly. It makes the child violent and abusive as grown ups, with the false notion that is is alright to hit someone when big enough. However, lack of discipline, in this case, physical punishment for a wrong action also produces "spoiled" children and later, adults. It is up to parents how to balance love and discipline to make a well-adjusted person as they grow up. Explaining to them the act of discipline before and after makes them aware of what is right and wrong and eventually to make their own values as they acquire experience and wisdom in later years.

There is one true constant in this world when it comes to hitting. there is always someone or something bigger and stronger and if you feel like you can swing on another person without consequences you will wind up getting severely injured or killed eventually. I think a parent who has a disrespectful child has to do whatever it takes to make sure that child understands hitting is not appropriate behavior. I stooped my boys from the hitting behavior by lightly smacking the hands when they were babies. I never had to deal with any of my kids raising their hands at me, so I guess im lucky in that regard.
