Could that not be because the children weren't scolded? How does that have anything to do with beating a child. Beating a child only has to do with instilling fear.
Ignorance is bliss.
Not ignorance, son. I've probably read more books on a wider variety of topics than you've ever dreamed of. My personal library includes around 500 books and those are just the ones I thought were good enough to keep. Among them are treatises on psychology, child-rearing and sociology. I am far from ignorant.
The word you're looking for, and the thing that you so obviously lack, is EXPERIENCE. It makes a world of difference.
While I use the word "beating" sometimes just to shock fainting-daiseys like yourself, it reality I've never "Beat" a child, nor would I. "Beating" implies an uncontrolled fusillade of blows likely to inflict injury.
Beating and spanking are not the same. Spanking is a form of discipline carefully and deliberately applied to cause a little minor pain without inflicting actual injury. The knowlegeable parent knows that spanking in anger is to be avoided; it is to be done with formal deliberation and without heat; the reasons why explained carefully; love exhibited throughout the event by explaining that you don't WANT to spank your child, but you even more so don't want them to run out in front of a speeding car like they very nearly just did.
You want to talk about ignorance son, maybe you need to look in the mirror. You still haven't answered the question of how many children you're raised. I think we know why, don't we.
