I was smacked as a child but have grown into a very non-violent person. I do not smack my own children. Liz |

I only recall being smacked twice...Mum threatened me with a belt..thats was quite enough to scare the living day lights out of me and make me listen to her. I dont agree with smacking.....but the odd quick slap behind the leg, on the odd occasion doesnt hurt i guess? And no im not violent (except when my painting goes wrong and i throw the pallette in the sink) |

In my own opinion, there are times when a child has to be smacked, eg a baby going towards a fire. Providing it is a smack, and not a whacking thump then I do not think it does make you a violent person. Just more respectful. |

I can only remmber being smacked twice as a child... and I know I deserved it on both occasionans. Has it made me violent ? No, not at all, and I wouldn't consider my father a violent man either. |

I was smacked very very occasionally,(on the back of my legs) and only if I had done something very naughty. It never did me any harm and I am not a violent person at all. catherine xx |

Granny Carr How can you know? I was smacked occasionally and I occasionally smacked my kids. Is that violent? Would I have not smacked them if I hadn't been smacked? No idea. I guess if you are regularly beaten it can have a bad effect - this happened to both Hitler and Stalin in their childhoods. On the other hand, some victims of violent childhoods aren't violent. We are shaped by our circumstances, but we do have choices. nell |

I got the odd slap, but only off Mum - usually when I answered her back and it has done me no harm whatsoever - just a slap on the back of the legs or arms. Stella |
