I don’t hit my children either - I used to smack them on rare occasions which is very different.<p>In regards a child playing with a power point this is not a case of being inattentive - you cannot watch what a child does every second of the day inside your own home. It is probably worse for a child to be watched every second of their life than for them to have some freedom and the occasional smack.<p>Can I ask if your children were placed in child care when they were young?
