For any parent who thinks it's ok to kids?

It is 100% proven that corpal punishment in young children results in aggression, criminal behavior, low self esteem and imprisonment later in life, yet many parents still think this is the ONLY way to discipline their child. If a child learns at a young age that they cannot trust their own mother or father for safety, they tend to not trust the world and it only worsens with age. I know there are some extreme groups, such as no-.org (Plain Talk, The Truth About booklets), however they do raise valid concerns. Can we atleast try and be more patient with our children? How about stepping back and counting to 10 and see if you still feel the need to raise your hand on your defenseless, precious child? And can we remember that how we, as parents handle our frustrations is how our children will handle theirs? So, if someone annoys your child in kindergarden or doesn't listen to them, they may believe it is ok to smack them. This is a huge problem in the clrooms and starts in the home. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and I am asking that anyone who has children, please remember they are just children, have patience!! Thanks for reading and thinking about these questions!!
