smacking kids

[notb665]

I usually drink water and occasionally beer. I am not diabetic.

One day not too long ago I had three bottles (500ml) of cherry coca-cola as I was driving from Land's End to Leicester.

Phew-ee! I was so hyperactive when I got home it was unbelievable; I was jittery, shaking, attention was darting from place to place, the wife had to tell me to stop pestering her (ahem ), I took the dogs out despite I had just driven solidly for 7 hours..

I think it could've been the amount of sugar/caffeine. Those J20 drinks are full of sugar.

Softus, you are talking piffle as usual. There were no problem kids in my school - not one. Show me a school that can say that today. Society is falling apart yet lefties like you cannot see it.

No dicipline = yob culture.


Ask your Dad, mate.

Moderator - see what happens when I try to talk sense to him? It doesn't make a blind bit of difference what I write, or in whatever manner I write it, he trots out the same tired old stuff every time. (He does).

joe-90 - well done; you've bored me into submission yet again. You must be right and I must be wrong, even though you decline even to acknowledge the question I asked you. I trust that this, however false it might be, pleases you to the extent that you'll do one of your victory dances all over the topic. (He won't).

Well done! You rock! (He doesn't).

 

[joe-90]

Softus. Of course I am right and you are wrong. History is the proof of that. In previous generations where discipline played a part there was no yob culture. Today where there is no discipline yobs rule.

Think about it mate. Imagine how an army would work without discipline. They would be a rabble.

Now stop talking piffle and listen for a change.

You're a man out of your time - the way you distill down an argument to its empirical components is a joy to behold. If only you'd lived in the era of one of the great mathematicians - we'd have mastered the universe long before 2006.

So, Toffee, very interested to hear any updates on this.
My knowledge of such situations is far from vast, but of the few I have experienced, E numbers, particularly those connected with the colour/flavour orange, were always one of the first things to be zapped from the childs diet (along with all that white sugar).
It may be that there are a few things coming into play here, not least of all your childs age/gender combination - ( make no mistake - this is by no means a scientific fact merely just 15 years of observation) - it seems to me that boys between ages 3 and 6 often behave in this drunken fashion to a certain extent - especially when presented with a potentially exciting or, at the other extreme, difficult to cope with situation. Throw in a few E numbers, a generous helping of sugar and, just for added zing, a couple of partners in crime, and you end up with a child into everything but unwilling/unable to focus on anything. They seem to get some kind of over-stimulation of the senses. In most of the instances that I saw the children were diagnosed as ADHD, cant recall any being diagnosed diabetic, a couple had situations they were finding it difficult to cope with but all, bar one, managed to to get it under control once the parents and doctors got their heads together. Cant say for sure if it was just the passage of time or the zapping of the E numbers that did the trick, but to be sure going to doctor, particularly a specialist, can only work in your favour at this stage - even if its just for your own peace of mind.

johnny_t - pretty sure that half hour seemed much longer. Horrible.

30 years ago - how many e-numbers did a tin of marrowfat processed peas contain in order to obtain that delicious shade of green.

The truth is always simple.

What gives anyone the right to hit a child?

Would you hit an adult if they did something you did not like?
Not you because you are a SHI? BAG


Anyone who hits a child is an uneducated bully

You cannot possibly win this

What gives the Police the right to shoot an adult? Society is falling apart. When it's your car that gets scratched or your window that gets broken - you'll start to change your mind. It's YOU that can't possibly win it.

I think you'll find the answer in our country's legislation.

When it's your car that gets scratched or your window that gets broken - you'll start to change your mind.

Everyone is different. The front and rear windscreens on my car were smashed, eight years ago, and it didn't change my mind.

I'm open to persuasion, but I haven't heard any persuasive arguments yet.

 

[scott1968]

You must be tough wanting to hit a six year old.

You’re just an old Paedo

WHAT GIVES ANYONE THE RIGHT TO HIT A CHILD?

I thought you were going to win this?

You have not given one good reason to justify hitting a child.

You have not explained why hitting a child works.

You have lost

Why do I get the impression that you were an abused child?

I never suggested that a smack should be anything more than a token gesture to a six year old. It's a line in the sand. If you cross that line then you know what the consequenses of that action will be. How many times do I see thick women screaming at thick kids who totally ignore what the parent is saying? A quick smack gets the message across. No-one is talking about a drunken father battering a small kid into a quivering heap. I'm sure you know what I mean eh?

Nice explanation.

 

[scott1968]

You can call it what you want smack, strike, punch, thump, slap, beat, knock, whack, bang, cuff, rap. The bottom line is you do not hit a kid.

Any idiot can hit a kid and think the problem is solved, all they have done has showed a six year old hitting solves a problem.
Take time out and talk to the kid, educate, educate, educate.

I’m getting the impression you are slowly starting to back down.
I’m starting to educate you (like educating a kid) that you are wrong.

Maybe educating a small kid (or a big kid) takes more time but that is the only humane way.

So the last part of your education now is to say you have lost.

[Kelinik]

I don't think there's ever a good reason to hit anyone, let alone a child!

Toffee I hope you manage to work out what is causing you little boy to act like this, it does sound a lot like how my little cousin used to go after eating anything with artificial colourings in.
