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. |
Cut the crap Tball...and I know damned well what "dominance" means! Quite frankly I dont give a flying if you or others think Im elitest because I dont beat my children. There is
never a good reason for force no matter the idiotic reasons you spew. If you arent able to use your mind and your abilities as a parent to outsmart a toddler then maybe you shouldnt have thought of having kids in the first place. Stupid, dangerous and disrespectful things dont require pain to outgrow.
