I'm tired of all the parents who spank their kids. Spanking is not discipline. All hitting does is teach the child that it is okay to hit someone else when they loose control, or don't get their own way. Parents who hit their kids were most likely hit by their parents, and they say "I was spanked and I turned out okay" Uh, no you didn't you hit little kids, how is that turning out okay. How about treating your child respect, they learn by example, discipline is not hitting. If hitting your child worked, then the child wouldn't have to be hit again. It is so sad to be in a store or somewhere hearing parents consistently slapping their kids hands or saying they are going to "spank" them. Kids who are disciplined instead of hit behave much better than kids who are constantly being hit. My adult kids were are so loving and caring and we always got compliments when they were younger about how well behaved they were or how polite they are. Our 15 year old is polite, loving, well disciplined. Do you really want someone to babysit your kids knowing they were hit by their parents and were never taught any other way?
