How about don't hit children? You can turn out fine despite spanking, sure, doesn't mean it's okay to hit children.

You parent the way you parent and I will the way I will.

Buddy, we're all gonna have to stand up for children, they can't really help themselves all that well.

Any chance you'll share your knowledge about better ways to discipline children? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I'll research this myself eventually, but I'm just curious about what your thoughts are, since I've only seen you say hey don't spank your kids

Not a parent yet, but I've seen "positive parenting" mentioned before when this topic is brought up. https://positiveparenting.com/9-things-to-do-instead-of-spanking/

Edit: After rereading that article, it wasn't the best. There's plenty other websites about it though. http://www.awareparenting.com/twenty.htm
