I don't believe in smacking at all. I find it to be a bad discipline. there are many ways of punishing the kids. I personnally use a good technic my parents used on me and that is called stars vouchers just like in schools. it works fine for me
. they were times when i did get to the point of really loosing it due to long working hours, employees laziness and complains lack of sleep ....and did pinch them on many occasions and what i found out is that it never worked and only made guilty and stressed but it was very wrong. hamdolilah I never remembered recieving a smack from either mum or dad(Rahimaho Allah)
