ILs are firmly of the belief that 'strong-willed' children such as mine (3.4 & 14months) benefit from the occasional smack. I disagree, obviously. But I could really do with some convincing research to wave under their noses and put the argument to bed once and for all. Anyone know of any?
Can do a google search of course but just thought MN should be first port of call and would throw up some experts/people who had already had (and won) this argument.
Thanks ladies
