Why did I limit the number of smacks my kids got? Because my mother would beat me unmercifully with my own leather belt. You see? She didn't breed violence in me. My son did one better than I did.

Sept you can choose to disagree with me . You are you and I am me.
My mom when I was young hit me so bad with a hair brush bristle side. I could not sit for a week. At least a week. I never remembered all those years what i had done wrong. Till this summer. The point is imo not all kids know what they have done wrong just because they were hit.
It ended with me. I knew I could teach them with out hitting. Ever............
Knowing our children in my eyes is the best way. That means sitting talking with them. Listening.Growing respect between each other.....
Respect is part of Love....
I will and always choose Love and peace with ppl..................and my children.....
May we never lose touch with our youth.......they are the future
