you telling mothers how to raise their children when you are not around to know what kind of children they iiavefl can tell you that what most kids need today is an old fashioned crack in the mouth

crack in the mouth may serve as healthy release for the bottled tensions of parent but it can be extremely damaging to child am not opposed to swat on the seat for children under five in situations where prompt action might save them from hurt ing themselves But entirely too much hitting goes on simply because parent cannot control his own anger and this sort of thing says can hurt you because
