I don't get what the deal is with the movie "The Slap". If I had been acting so crazy then kicked an adult when I was that age, not only would my face be hurting but my parents would have beat my behind, dragged me over to the adult and made me apologize for being so disrespectful, put me in the car and made me wait in silence thinking about what I had done until they were ready to leave then ground me for a week. That was the way misbehaving little brats were treated and we grew up to respect others, especially our elders. Not like the rude brats who harrass their teachers, fail to say ma'am or sir when addressing an adult, and steal from people. I don't agree with abusing a child but there is nothing wrong with properly raising them. They must be shown that there are consequences to every action, whether good or bad. If you get your bluff in early enough, you won't have to even touch them. They will understand what you consider wrong or right just hearing you clear your throat a certain way or see you nod. Children are easy. They don't know anything but what you teach them or allow. We are their life coaches, teaching them how to survive as fully functioning adults. If you do it right, they won't mind living at home but look forward to living on their own and actually be successful at it. (yeah, I know, kinda preachy)
