i just think that you can try and reason with them most of the time, but when your three year old throws a tantrum in the supermarket cos they want the barney bubblebath, what are you supposed to do? a little slap will only show them that if they do that the next time they'll get a slap... most kids catch on extremely quickly, so i believe it has a time and a place...

its up to the person... i have a horrible temper (like my parents)... and my first compulsion is to lash out... but i make sure i take a minute and breathe... then decide...
