Should parents in Britain be banned from smacking their children?From the behaviour of many children I now witness out in public, I would say that there are a large percentage who are not listening to oral discipline very effectively! Most don't seem to be taught how to respect the space of other users in cafes and restaurants - but then, the way that their Mothers (and all too often Fathers) behave gives an indication of why, sadly. My own 7 year old son (yes I'm only just new to the over 50's club!) is never permitted to leave his seat in a cafe, nor to talk loudly so that he disturbs other customers.... I always try to talk through any unacceptable behaviour with him first of all - only rarely does he 'push my buttons' enough that I have to resort to a smack on the leg. But if he doesn't respond to the verbal, and it is important enough because he is 'crossing boundaries' in a very big way.... then I would use the leg smack as a last resort. And, it works. You have to show who is the 'alpha' leader of the proverbial pack, or, as we are seeing in today's dumbed down society, we are simply rearing a herd of little monsters! And, they will soon be reporting their parents for abuse when there is none! Real abuse will not be prevented by banning 'smacking'. That goes into a deeper psychological problem with the parent child relationship. Honey MayaViewDate:

Is the New Years Honours List Outdated?I fail to see the 'honour' in being a TV/Film personality or Sports person. I can see validity in 'honouring' people who work tirelessly and selflessly as volunteers, who undertake acts of selfless bravery, or members of the military. -
