Agree with you... though you would be amazed at what some people will call Child Services out on. A quick slap on the hand or buttocks (often through a nappy) is about the only thing a two year old will understand as they are far more interested in just testing how far they can go. As for a child crying it is often an insecurity issue where leaving them in a play pen will only reinforce the insecurity...It is difficult because Kids don't come with a "How to" manual .
BEATING a child into submission is unconscionable! Yeah I have been on the wrong end of a belt wielded by my father and found out just how well my Mother can aim a potato... but I was much older and giving a ton of cheek by then. As a small child I got the smack on the hand or bum. This worked very well for my two kids.
Maybe I have misunderstood you. I am talking about very young children 6months -say 3 years those wonderful formative years when temper tantrums a rife. "Chucking a temper tantrum" of your own often stops them in their tracks! lol After about 4-5 years reasoning has a better chance of getting through to them with the Yelling and privilege deprivation.
What sickens me is we have recently had a spate of Babies to young toddlers being bashed to death or near death for the crime of crying too much in one instance. This is not suitable.
