I can't believe all this talk of "beating" children. I am all for discipline, but c'mon guys...slapping in the face.....sent to the basement for days....there are better ways to change behavior that don't involve the emotional scarring that you are suggesting. So, it's aggressive behavior we are trying to reduce and we will do that by more intense forms of aggression??? See my point?
There are such things as ODD, intermittent explosive disorder, etc. which can cause aggression, and can be treated both medically and behaviorally. Setting limits and boundaries does not require physical punishment to be administered.
