I went to WalMart last night and bought a pinata shaped like Sponge Bob for my boys birthday party.
We used one of them over the 4th of July at a picnic for the kids. We have the dimembered legs taped to our attic entrance in the ceiling...

You don't have to smack.
The naughty step works wonders on my 2 year old
Smacking kids teaches them to hit out themselves.
And talking of Wal*Mart, I know some of you who collect the Clone Wars figures have to shop there, so you don't miss out on there exclusives
copy it and then "slap" it on here.how do I post a youtube video on here? not a link but an actual video window
Shaming and ignoring children works better than physical abuse. The effects are much deeper and longer-lasting. When you smack them or yell at them, you are giving them attention, which they want.
No, like this.

Adam Sandler is awful. I can't believe people pay money to see this stuff.
Kids don't have to be hit to hit others. My nephew used to hit, kick and pinch when he was a toddler and believe me, his mother never did a thing to him before or after he learned that. He pinched me once and I pinched him back hard! He never did it again to me.
Could be genetic pre-disposition. Some sociopaths are just born that way, for instance. Perhaps the same could be said for uncontrollable aggression in some cases. Of course, those parents would be responsible for keeping their kids doped up appropriately.but the ^^^^ed up parts of the kid (hitting, pinching, etc...) are all a direct result of their up bringing by the parent or guardian or their environment (which the guardian is responsible for)...
I don't think anyone on this board is saying it is alright to hit someone else's kid even though you might want to.
You can have two of your own kids and raise them the same way and sometimes they can act and react differently. You have to learn what works for each child. I was never hit as a kid, but my brothers were. Both grew up just fine and didn't become murders or wife beaters.
