Why can't parents discipline their kids by means of a slap?

I dunno hitting someone in face seems over the top, but then spanking a 13 year old girl would be eve weirder.

slap isnt hitting?
Its not like he punched her, he would have slapped her like any woman slaps another woman, iv seen my mum slap my sister loads like that, sorted her right out.

Maybes someone should have slapped me more?

Breakdown of the family unit is probably the main cause. Along with food additives, psychotropic drugs, excess TV\videogames, not enough physical exercise...

Nail on the head!

All this started in the late 90's, media having a riot saying smaking your kids causes mental and emotional strain later in life.

Then kids starting shopping their parents to the police for assault. :rolleyes:
 
My five year old half-brother slapped me as hard as he could in my face a week or so back, because I wasn't giving him attention at a queue for a ride at Gulliver's Kingdom. It was totally unprovoked so I strongly said 'why the hell did you do that? would you like it if I did that to you' then slapped him, not hard just hard enough, a parent looked mortified at me.

He knew he'd done wrong, it was the best way to teach him what's right and put him inline. Nothing wrong with it. A punch would be horrible.

Most kids these days are being brought up shockingly, even compared to my generation.
 
Agreed with Ascendancy.
I was brought up before all the nonsense about physically disciplining being a bad thing came in. I'm glad of that, I learnt my lesson at a young age.

How they can say it causes emotional stress I have no idea. My parents are fine, as are there parents, there freinds, there colleagues. It is just nonsense, its a shame people will believe anything in the media.

Slapped. Not kicked. :p

Weeks before he hit my dad on the back of the leg with at least a metre long log before my dad threw it into some nettles, my dad tried to get him to apologise and told him what he'd done was wrong being nice but he just cried at being told what to do, discipline would have worked.

I don't think it was the best way at all.

Just because talking to him didn't do the job doesn't mean the next step is slapping him.
 
I remember back in the days of secondary school my dad used to give me a bloody good kicking whenever I did wrong (albeit rare), but still I'm glad he did, must admit it sorted me out. Fortunately I've never had to do it with my bairns but I probably still would've. I'm a man of traditional values.

I can't remember being physically disciplined, nor can I remember either of my brothers being treated in a such a way, we've all turned out well.

erm, not all kids are you or your brothers. Not all kids do turn out well, some kids need a kick in the right direction.

Should have told him to fetch the log back ;)

I was brought up with the phrase 'treat others how you'd like to be treated' if he wants to slap me for no reason, can I not slap him back? I'm not saying slapping is the answer at all, infact I hope I didn't draw it to that conclusion, but in this case it was entirely fitting to the situation. My experience of kids these days is that their lack of discipline, lack of attention at home and high sugar intake as previously mentioned is driving them to be tearaways.

As soon after it happened he walked at least 5 or 6 steps into the nettles (taller than him) crying wanting 'his stick' back, my dad pulled him out. No joke, the kid has issues.
