in the same light, I was not smacked as a child. i turned out ok. never taken drugs, never drink alcohol, never been cautioned or arrested, did well in education. I have never smacked my daughter her entire life. she too is doing very well at 9 years old. 6er in brownies, was in a competing gymnastics team, is doing really well at school in top groups, every review she has, the school always comments on her excellent and kind attitude and nature....
which leads me to think, if children who are not smacked turn out just as well as those who are, why would one chose to smack a child at all?
