Why DO parents feel guilty about smacking? Beats me

At last I have a comeback the next time I’m glared at in the supermarket for hissing threats of smacked bottoms and slapped legs at my son.

Sparing the rod not only spoils the child – and makes him a nightmare for everyone else to endure – but it can also make him less of an achiever in later life.

A study in the U.S. has revealed that children who are smacked before the age of six not only perform better at school, but are also more likely to do voluntary work and to want to go to university than those who have never been physically disciplined.
