It happens here, it's funny how discussions can leap all over - but that's the nature of it...YT allows it as much as possible, esp if it's a healthy conversation.

I think we are saying the same just in a different way.

I will say this, I have friends that are "touchers" you know the type, they poke you when they are talking ect. I don't like it. I think some times a "poke" on the fanny is a way of a parent making a point.
Now.. like I said I think the only way to change a person who was raised to hit is education! There are many cultures that believe in physical punishment. So there are bad parents who don't care, bad parents who just don't know better.
Think of the people that we were complaining about in stores.. most were not educated people. I guess education (and I am not talking BS, AS, BA, AA or PHD here guys- I talking life education, compassion) is what will change people.
Yes yes yes yes yes. Agree.

I like the idea of grasping a hand firmly and forcing a child to focus on your eyes and tell them what they're doing wrong, even if it doesn't work or sink in; something along those lines will work eventually - unless the child has brain chemistry issues or is autistic etc...that's a whole 'nother issue.

Completely agree on education, the kind you're talking about!
