Ask them nicely after they agree to have a discussion with you and you used their preferred gender pronoun.

@Sweevo is gonna have a field day about this. He's the author of the well known book "So You Raised a Snowflake".

"Dit is onmoontlik om dissipliene te handaf sonder n rotang!"

Though I do believe this will raise a generation where there is no reasonable belief that there will be any consequences.

To be fair, some parents can raise kids without the need for corporal punishment.

Yes, I always find that children enjoy a good UTI - screaming while peeing will really teach them not to say no!

You ever met a c.unt? Their parents are the ones you speak of

Yes, but we should also allow them to roundhouse kick their baby brother in the face, well just every now and then, to keep him on his toes.

No consequences, this is how you get school shootings!

Joh, that's a bold statement.

To be fair, some children were raised with corporal punishment and turned out perfectly fine.

Joh, that's a bold statement.

You think any of those kids had strong parents to teach them right from wrong?

Good step, but I doubt whether it is actually enforceable.

The same way you discipline an adult. You exclude them from social interaction.

There is a big difference between abuse and a smack.

To be frank, a parent that beats the wife and children isn't going to stop because the law says so.

Some children are quite happy to go sit by themselves. Not everyone thrives on being a part of society.

As always, it's not physical punishment/discipline that is the problem, it's the moronic idiots that take it a step too far. As always, our moronic government rather caters to the morons in the population who don't understand the difference between giving your kid a hiding and beating your kid black and blue out of rage/frustration/anger.
