Cut the elitist BS, Cheese.

1.rule; control; authority; ascendancy.
2.the condition of being dominant.
3.Psychology. the disposition of an individual to assert control in dealing with others.
If a parent can not assert control over their toddler, they aren't good parents. Period.
You don't approve of a smack on the ass if the kids do something very stupid/dangerous/disrespectful. Fine. If having a fireside chat with a 3 year old works everytime, you must have some good genes. Don't go hooting at everyone who disagrees with your outlook and finds a different means of parenting that is effective.
I'm with Displaced on this one. There's a difference between discipline and abuse... some people seem to be skewing the line here.
