Every now and then my friends and I get on the subject of disciplining children. These conversations always end up in an all out war of words involving those of us who feel like there's nothing wrong with beating children and those (usually the Psych majors) who believe children should never be hit. I have one friend who belives she can use any/all of what she has learned in her psychology classes or from books to raise a well disciplined child without EVER hitting her child

. What do you all think?
* When I say beating, I mean the good old fashion beatings we got as children, not beatings that cause broken arms, legs, missing teeth, etc.
