Is it ok to slap a 16 yrs. old boy???

I do not think it´s ok violence has never solved anything, and even if u don´t slap him hard - it is still violence!

It is not ok to slap your child. You should try grounding him, no TV, no Video games, no phone anything but hitting your child. If he decides to tell a teacher are you willing to go to jail? Take a deep breath and stop and think of something else to do to punish him for bad behavior first.

I have slapped my son and I have not had any problems out of him since.I do not like to hit or embarras my kids.My son was with me in the grocory store and he was complaining babout being there very loudly.It took all had not to swat him in the mouth but i did and he was amazed and shocked and does not give mommy any more problems.He would never do that to his dad.

i think somewhat okey but make realize him why he got slap ! and tell me him next time if he repeat such activity again he will get greater punishment ! dont beat him all the time but make him scarey about things

This is my opinion. It depends on each child and what discipline you are normally using and what the child responds to. Where to slap is a major issue to. A parent in Australia can still use an open hand on the butt. Face and Head off limits

I dont think slapping him is the way to handle it. Slapping is violence. Violence is not the answer to solving problems. If he hit you or someone else, would it be okay? Probably not. If he is really out of control, seek professional guidance. Otherwise, take privilidges away. Make sure he understands that priviledges are just that-privilidges. The are earned and can be taken away. Anyways, good luck.

no thats not right

its better to slap him when he misbehaves. he should better know to whom he is talking tooooo

Slapping is not the solution and it can be dangerous at it involve hitting the head part of a person.. If you accidentally use too much energy, it could cause concussion and brain injury. Using the rod would be a better deal. Also, after punishment, do not just rest the case. It is always good to sit down and review where you son has gone wrong after half an hour to one hour after punishments.. And punishment must be dealt to him!! Else, he would start stepping over your head.. He have to learn to respect the elders!
