BP Totty, I don’t plan to spank them then either. I will definitely find ways to teach them and discipline them, but not at the risk of abusing them.
What happens when they hit their younger siblings? Why is it ok for you to hit them, but not for them to hit you?
My sister doesn’t hit her kids either and they are 3, 6 and 8.
Shlomoe, I don’t personally use a harness for my son because he listens. I would prefer to harness my child to help ensure their safety while giving them freedom to explore than to hit them.
