You are teaching a child it's ok to hit someone when you spank them. I do not see how this has anything to do with Cesar, he strongly advocates not hitting animals. How we each define abuse, is subjective, some people think crate training is abusive. |
Yes, that's very true. The number one thing Cesar always teaches is to be calm so when parents are spanking, they're not going to be calm. He never punishes out of anger - he just disciplines calmly.
I think it got brought up because people are claiming that Cesar hits and kicks his dogs and I was just trying to show the difference, because I don't believe that he abuses animals, but some say he does. As for the spanking, I guess my main point is that it never psychologically damaged any of my relatives who were spanked as kids; however, I don't think I could ever get myself to spank my own child.
