@alibcan yeah about disciplining i agree it must be done afterall thats parenting your child but I dont agree with hiting your kid. At least I grew up never being hit by my parents of course I was punished for my actions many time but my parents never raised their hands at me. And I would like to believe I turned out really respectfull to the people around me. I think you can definelly discipline your child without needing to hit them. When I talked with my friends about this I notice some things ( but of course this is just my experience around the topic not saying this is a absolute truth) my friends that got hit when doing something bad actually developed some sort of bad coping mechanism or simply overwall didnt learn the lesson it just created either resentment or fear in their relationship w/ their parents and as we know this always spreads in different forms to other areas of our lives. So i dont know. I believe disciplining a child is more about teaching them educating them showing consequences but also making they think for themselves on what is right and wrong and explain in the best way you can until they understand... its hard extremelly hard it needs so much patience and it can definelly get stressfull to a point you just want to yell at your kid or take the easy turn when parenting but also parenting was never suposed to be easy if you chose to be one be responsible and raise your kid the best way.

btw the thing about oriental family hiting as discipline depending on the family it gets pretty abusive and disrespectful like slaping or belts and other instruments being used. My mother always told me that her mother used always her hands so she could feel the pain she was transmiting to control her strengh because when you use an object sometimes it can get out of control without you noticing it.

@thayko Ah i see i get ur point and i can see what's the disagreement between us. It's just that we grew up in different part of the world and differently so without discipline it worked out for u and ur experience is different from mine. For me i think discipline(hitting ur kid) is right because everyone is honestly just different u were a nice person so u turned out fine u didn't need any discipline BUT other kids i see around me and see in videos Their parents tell them right or wrong and they spit on their parents now that kind of kid needs to be taught a lesson don't u think? bcs words won't get through to them. For me i used to a extremely angry type of kid i used to fight with my brothers and once even hit my parent so my parents disciplined me by hitting me and slapping me which at the time i disliked but now when im more mature i thank my parents for correcting me now. I do not have any trauma from it and i love my parents even more now. So i guess everyone have different opinions because of different experience and i see that we are both right in this situation. For someone like u who was a nice person from the beginning didn't need any discipline and for me who was a Angry disrespectful brat i needed it. So the answer is: It depends on the kid. It's a big world we live in so there can NEVER be a definite answer
