If we take for a second that as accepted (which I don't really) does that mean it's excusable though? It's certainly not legal... An eye for an eye and the land will soon be blind (to paraphrase!)

But the NSPCC is saying mild physical punishment = violent children/bullies
It's as though they have a very patronising view of children that they are unable to tell that a slap as punishment is just punishment, not validation that any violence is allowed

I'm not saying I'm 100% with NSPCC's views - If it comes to "Which statement do you agree with" though, I'm more likely to go to that side than the alternative.
I can certainly see why people would find them patronising, but with any luck there are parents out there who are taking it too far who will realise this and get some of the help they're being offered.
