If neither of the above solutions against smacking works, we still have yet another one - punishing (excluding corporal punishment). There are many ways of punishing: from forbiding our children to do what they would like to do, to making them do something they do not like. Depending on how big was the 'crime', we can forbid them to eat sweets for some time, to watch tv, or to go out. We can educate our children through work by making them do some extra work at home like: washing up, dusting, hoovering, etc, or outside like: gardening or washing a car. This is a really effective way of teaching our children how to behave and we do not have to smack them. It is a well known fact that nobody won anything for a long time resorting to violence. Violence causes violence. Children who are exposed to it may quiet down for some time, but the emotion, the hatery which accumulates in them will blow out some day with a much greater force. The real problems will then begin.
