To be fair, I can understand that the urgency of the situation requires force. But this is a situation that has nothing to do with discipline. Which is what this thread is concerning.
I mean, I'm not saying I think it's wrong. It just doesn't make sense to me in that circumstance. When my daughter was 3 almost 4, she looked right at an oncoming car the looked at me and stepped into to the street. I jerked her out of the street by her hair. I felt awful, but it was the only thing I could reach there was no other option and it wasn't about discipline. The discipline was obvious to me, you can't be trusted to be safe so now you don't get to play outside.
