Answer #1

I absolutely agree! You should never slap a child whether he or she is an adult or teenager. There are plenty of other ways to discipline your children. I was slapped in the face plenty of times when I lived with my parents and, I can tell you, I didn’t like that one bit! I just think it’s wrong! and, it’s abuse too. I’m definitely with you on this one.

Answer #2

Answer #4

I for onw compleatly agree with you, like my mom slaped me a couple of times and its always for the dumbest stuff. What about ll the other ways of didaplin? Surly you could try one method before THAT.

Answer #5

No it wouldnt be considered abuse…

although a parent hitting an adult is a little weird…

Here’s the data if anyone’s interested 74% of parents use spanking (17 and under) 94% of parents use spanking for kids 3-4 Spanking frequently is positively related to aggression (no causality can be drawn though) Effect of spanking may be moderated by meaning child ascribes to spanking Immediate compliance follows corporal punishment Age moderates the outcome of spanking - detrimental effects more likely with older children (over 10) Effects may be different for girls and boys Reasoning (explain what was wrong with their behavior) combined with punishment leads to longer compliance Association between corporal punishment and antisocial behavior are high with impulsive spanking
