ds is 6 and is a very busy boy and in need of constant attention. exp smacks him when he looses his temper with him. ds who is 8 sees this all the time and thinks that smacking/htting ds6 is kinda the thing you do when he annoys you.....one day ds8 had hit ds6 half a dozen times really hurting him. I let ds6 hit him to show him how much it hurt. Ds8 has not hit him since (over two months).
How wrong was I? After the incident ds8 rang his father upset, father recorded the conversation and played it to the PSA at school who contacted social services.
I know what they think about it but I would like to know what other mums/dads think.
Ds who is 8 no longer hits his little brother so was I right or wrong to resolve the problem in this way?
