I see a lot of items mentioned here of people being opposed to giving kids a corrective beating, becouse their parents never explained why they used force. Or becouse it was the first thing done when you wer doing something wrong.
Well in those cases, arn't the parents the ones doing wrong instead of the method itself.

Example: If the kid in question does not listnen to you. You tell him to listnen once, twice... three, four times. But if he stays stuborn, you bend down, give him a whack and tell him that he is expected to listnen to his parents. Now I'm not saying to beat him K.O. Just an effective tap on the fingers or on the backside usualy does the trick. Next time you then warn the kid to listnen, he will know that if he doesn't, he will get a tap again.

Thats the way corrective 'beating' should be practised. But obviously, it hardly is. Parents usualy resort to violence in the first place and to talking in the second. Thats where it goes wrong.
