No more spanking…

And of course goodbye “Discipline”.

Lawmakers forget that a child needs to know that it is loved. A child needs to "experience" that parental love. Loving hugs and appropriate spankings are part and parcel of that experience. Life is not one big party; an essential part of growing up is being naughty within boundaries. If these boundaries are consistently transgressed, then surely an appropriate punishment is called for. A child is not an adult with whom you can reason "all the time".The Dutch have a saying:"Wie niet horen wil, moet voelen!".Loosely translated this means: "Don’t want to listen? Than feel it!"
We were disciplined and did not do drugs or drank alcohol as to-days youth do. Neither did we kill each other in and out of schools. The children using drugs and drinking alcohol are getting younger and younger by the days. Neither did we experience sex at a young age…
