No! The trouble with hitting kids is that it doesn't teach them anything (except not to get caught)!
It depends on the age of the child, of course. With younger kids, a simple "time out" works pretty well -- the experts recommend one minute per year of age. Believe me, having to sit quietly doing nothing is pretty intense for a 5-year-old!
Older kids are ready to learn that actions have consequences. If a child doesn't put her toys away, for example, and mommy has to do it, mommy will put the toys where the child can't get them for a day or two. (And good actions should have consequences too: thanks and praise, even an extra bedtime story!)
This is a tough one for the fact that many people were raised this way and many do not believe in it . My son is 13 years old and had one good spanking on his butt at the age of five. I didnt beat him by any means but gave him a little age appropriate wake up call for what he did. Now, the better way to handle any misbehavior is by redirecting the problem. Stop whatever it is that they are doing that is wrong or bothering you, immediately. Then have them sit down and explain to them the right thing to do. Then let them know a age appropriate punishment, time out for the little ones, privileges being taken away for older ones. I know that this may not work all the time but you can diffuse the situation better then hitting the child. If you are out of control they will only mimic the behavior. I dont think the child should have a say in matters when the adult has already given a directive or warned the child of what they should and should not be doing. Kids will be kids and we have to teach them and guide them of making the right decisions at all times. My son at age 13 should know what I expect from him by now, so if he talks back or gives me a problem with doing something that is asked of him, he gets a privilege taken away or doesnt get something that is important to him and has to wait. It is a give and take situation. If you need some age appropriate suggestions the library has great books on all different techniques. I know it may seem like alot of work but you will not feel good about yourself as a parent if you use hitting as an answer to their immature behavior. Good luck and be patient.
No that is considered child abuse. Spanking is legal in the US though as long as it does not leave marks.
yes, you should hit your kids because it'll teach them great things when they get into jail like how to hide contraband from the gaurds
NO
Because he was stupid and wanted kids to suffer. He probably really hated kids and before that he got hit in the head about a 99999999999 times.

No, tampons are not good for kids and there's no reason for kids to be using tampons.Tampons are for people who are menstruating, and should be avoided in pre-teens and teens.

kids get on facebook to be noisy.Face book is for grown-ups.Really bad things are on Facebook.Such as:cursing,therts,and other bad things on Facebook.That's why kids should never ever get on Facebook.
Twitter itself is not bad for kids, however inappropriate content may be posted on it so the child's internet usage should be monitored.

It is bad because your hand is scared of that something that it hit. Your hand should learn to be brave in future
