I see a lot of dumb bullshit advice in this thread.
Go through life trying to only "reason" with your child. Once they go to school and figure out how other kids act, they will bring that behavior home.
Then, when you tell them nicely, "please stop" or you try to take their prized possession like an xbox or something away, the kid will get mad and prolly run up and hit you like he's an equal. "Bitch gimme my shit back"
My little brother was not disciplined, but I was overly disciplined as a child. I see him cussing on xbox live, throwing dumbass fits, and he calls people stupid, idiots, all kinds of names.
He is a little punk motherfucker because my parents went soft on him after beating my ass for years.
Guess what? I never insulted people, I never acted rude to people, I knew right from wrong. The way my brother acts at age 11 disappoints me, and as a brother I have tried talking to him.
I don't agree that being irrational and beating your kids is right, but SOME degree of discipline is necessary, unless you don't mind your kid being a spoiled punk faggot.
In the end it all works out though.
If you don't hit your kid and he ends up being a dick, chances are, someone like me will knock the fuck out of him and show him he needs to shut the fuck up.
