when i was less than two my mum raiosed her hand to me
i backed away in fear fell and was millimetres from the skirting board
this made my mum realise the possible severity of her actions and she never did it again
both me and my boyfriend have been raised via the explainations treatment ie "this is bad because..." you dont do this because..." etc and we are both well rounded individuals who have, i feel a greater sense of right from wrong
due to this we have agreed to raise our children when we get there in the same manner teaching them right from wrong verbally
the worst case i ever saw a toddler tripped over and her dad laughed so she hit him her mum punished her by smacking whilst saying "don't smack" to me thats a confusing message for any child
