[quote=Billcat;410605I'm against slapping, spanking, etc. There are better ways to discipline, if you care enough about your kids to take the trouble. And the line between spanking and child abuse is anything but well-defined. Frankly, I'd never want a child fearing me.[/quote]

But thats just it . if you only smack your child when it realy exceeds the boundries,,,AND THE CHILD SHOULD KNOW WHAT THEY ARE,,,and you explain WHY they have been smacked.
And also praise them as well when they have been especialy kind or good .i think you will find that they are not afraid of you ,,and trust your judgement.....
