Parenting tip: Nip anger in the bud... take steps to control your own rage.
rage: noun. Violent, explosive anger; A fit of anger.
Heck, how many parents do you know who rage with anger against their children? Whether they act on that rage is beside the point: what would cause parents to be filled with rage against their children in the first place? Surely a word such as frustration, dissapointment or annoyance would be more fitting?

Frustration, disappointment and annoyance are not emotions that would lead me to want to smack a child.
Rage, however, I have experienced and understand.
It is not "good parental correction" to hit a child when angry.
I suggest it is at the very least "unnecessary" parental correction to smack (your word) a child if feeling no more than "frustration, disappointment or annoyance".
Where's the adult self-control here?
One thing that I have noticed is that the YES lobby who wants to make a smack a criminal offense will not allow any comment on their propaganda.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Chuck, but you did just comment. Good on ya.
Anonymous, I was referring to allowing comments on their website. I am sure they would like to ban blogs and websites that are counter to their.
