We've one like that, too. Although her elder brother is in a league of his own regarding throwing.

I've 3 adult kids and 3 grandkids, the 22 month old is by far the worst and requires 100% attention, I think my daughter is in for a seriously hard time.

I wouldn't change her, I like weans to have bags of character, the hard part is trying keep them safe without diluting that character too much.

We've 14, so we've had a wide range of characters. Surprisingly enough, the ones with the stroppiest parents as children were the most manageable!

I got smacked as a kid and it never bothered me. Equally I don't think physical violence should be used as a punishment, particularly against children and I can't really understand why someone would want to hit their own child. I completely support this ban.


*will review this when my kid is older and not the well behaved angel she is now*

In 15-20 years time will academics be telling us that raising your voice at at children is harmful to their development?

 

I think it was invergowrie Arab passed of some academic research as irrefutable fact that it’s damaging- but damaging in what way exactly? To what sort of development?

 

What some body of academics see as healthy development isn’t necessarily the gold standard of how a functioning adult should operate and what is best for society. It’s all relative.

 

Different societies have different approaches to raising children- there’s no society i am aware of that cracked the puzzle and got it perfect.

 

Smacking kids may lead to the development of one set of traits and not smacking might lead to another. Who is to say what traits are superior to others?

I just can't believe that a controlled snack to discipline a child is being confused with abuse, There's a difference 

You shouldn't bribe your children with sugary or fatty foods, that's tantamount to child abuse.

I think you should take a wee timeout as you seem to be going off topic.
