My dad used to slap us as kids but I never did it to my own, the mere mention of the naughty step to my two eldest children put the fear into them, it was like the steps of shame
Then I had my other two who are SEN kids and they didn’t give a rats arse about the naughty step. Had to reward them for good behaviour instead and do it all differently. I dunno if anyone had their teacher smack their arse before, I did. I was terrified of that b woman. And this was in the late 80’s. Ugh she was HORRIBLE
