God designed adults with harder flattened areas full of nerve endings suitable for detecting exactly how much pressure is being applied to them.
The application of the adult area on the child area is the ideal form of child discipline. This is not an accident.
I have a 17 month old daughter (the most beautiful baby in Indiana) who is just starting to get swatted when she needs it. Do I enjoy it, no. Does it bother me, no. It's just how life is supposed to be. How else will she learn what is acceptable behvior?
I can instantly identify children who have never been disciplined. They are spoiled brats. Normally very loud, rude, and abusive to all around them. When older, normally trapped in a lifestyle of perversion, pregnant, or in prison. (Sometimes, but rarely, they wise up and become parents who spank their children because they realize that kids need discipline)
Bill Cosby has a theory which I share. All children are born with their brains in their behinds and you must warm that area to get their brains to rise with the heat up into their heads. (just kidding a little here, but you can look at almost any child and see they do some pretty stupid things. And then they'll explain why they did them by saying 'I don't know')
