I'm so sorry to argue with someone I respect but I have to take issue with you.Smacking is in no way akin to using a cane on a child.I have smacked my children on very few occasions but I've never used cane on either of them.I never would on any child.
More troubling though is what we have arrived at under the no corporal punishment regime though is no force or touching allowed which makes it very difficult to deal with children who are completely out of control.Restraint is a very dodgy issue despite the government attempting to clarify the situation by saying reasonable restraint may be used.What's reasonable restraint?
