So I'm staying at parents as we are having our home redecorated before a move.
My ds is 7. He came home from a party today and was being aggressive (hiting the walls)and calling me names. my parents overhear all this.
I want to discipline without smacking as I just don't see it as a useful method if discipline. My father doesn't agree and says if ds did this behaviour with him in charge he would give him ' a bloody good hiding'. I feel so upset he could do that and know it wouldn't work long term. Df thinks he will be a delinquent teen with the behaviour he us showing.
After ds calmed down. He apologised to me (without prompting) and I explained why his behaviour was unacceptable.
Just looking for reassurance from mn that I don't need to use physical discipline to get him to behave.
I found out after the event that he hadn't had any tea at the party, which often has a negative effect on his behaviour.
