Documentary looking at and analysing the behaviour of five sets of parents who believe in smacking as an appropriate means of disciplining their children. Experts Dr Miriam Stoppard, Lynette Burrows and Professor Christina Lyons and other parents give their views - both for and against.

.

AAArgh "raise their CHILDREN"

"We would all like children who don't need to be disciplined in this way."

I hope your son isn't picking up your disappointment in his personality.

It's not his failings that make you smack.

But Clumsymum we don't have to walk a mile in your shoes before we judge you do we?

All this non-judgemental crap is just that it is crap!

The fact is that most people judge other peoples behaviours and actions all the time!

So people will have judged you with or without your permission!

They are about to discuss it on ITV1 LOOSE WOMEN

tonihgt? ooh will put that on the record I think. always intresting to watch other peoples styles.

MUNZ the programme is on THURSDAY @ 9.00 ITV1

Just found out I know one of the mothers on this programme (going to have to get DH to tape it now!) One of her DSs (not the one featured) is a school friend of DS2. I'm a bit [shock} tbh, and a bit wary of watching it. If she really is 'proud' of smacking her son, I'm going to find talking to her very uncomfortable

what i'm watching for on thurs is to find out what the children are given a smack for? i.e what deserves a smack, my ds is 7 and was smacked once for running out onto the road last year, i explained he would be smacked for what he had done, breaking my trust when crossing the road with him and not looking for cars, i think he was showing off because he saw other kids, i only smacked him when we got indoors and he has never run across the road again, i didn't like that i smacked him but this was a serious warning as he could of seriously hurt himself by being hit by a car and the pain of one smack was a greatly reduced pain than what he would of felt if he had been hit by a car

sorry rt - my days are all out this week cos DH is away! lol. (still put it onto record thou!)

I just didn't want you to miss it

i couldnt possible smack tarquin, he is too precious. i don't care if he warrents an asbo at 3 yo.

lol asbo

The smacking issue is so complicated.

What type of smacking, what mood you are in when smacking, if smacking is necessary.

I think smacking is unecessary. However, I have been know to slap on legs maybe twice in the last 5 years after asking ds5 50 million times to do something which was important to his safety at the time. One was a bath incident and the other near the road.

Neither incident brought a tear to his eye. He looked a bit shocked as he would be because he hadnt been used to it.

Neither times were because i lost my temper, I saw it as a last resort in the circumstances to jog his memory.

IM HERE, COME AND TAKE ME AWAY!

tarquin does as he is told, he never needs smacking.

Custardo, you have heard of www.smugmums.co.uk havent you?

I am sure no one will be forgetting this is on tonight

But thought I would alert/bump it anyway

Thanks! Will be watching.
