in my country that is child abuse. you should really be ashamed of yourself. he is 3 yrs old and is trying to see how far he can push you. next time before you cane this child try another tactic. and please do baby proof your house. im not saying to pick up everything and put it away because that does not teach him however a smack on the back of the hand that he tries to touch is good he wont keep doing it. and yes please lock ur windows and move all chairs from easy access

i hv to cane him as he's too hyper active n he will never know how dangerous to climb out the window. i mean i never cane him hard but only a soft one u see? as a parent who want to cane their own child? if only by scolding he will listen then i will not post this today..

I'm a retired childrens nurse, caning is barbaric, slap on the hand, a sharp no, or a light smack on the leg, but caning, no! barbaric :( in the Victorian days caning, whipping, beating a child was acceptable. Today??? I think not.

Well, I wouldn't condone caning, partly on my ignorance and because of HOW you are using it. I think corporal punishment should be reserved for an act of defiance, when a child KNOWS that what he is doing is wrong, and has proven that he is capable of obediance, but is chosing to challenge you and your authority. Having said that, I think you ought to heed the advice of others and make your home more baby safe, but also that there should be a punishment for misbehavior. Time-outs work very well for this age, especially when the child is over active, I know my son would much rather recieve a spanking then a time out. A three year old is old enough to behave most of the time, and you should expect him to, but he must know that when he misbehaves he will face consequences, but on the otherhand, don't tempt him either. Keep your house as safe as you can, so he's not always having to fight the temptation to misbehave. Good luck!

He's only 3 and even 6 year olds won't listen most of the time. You should just make your house a safer place for your child. Close and lock all the windows or have grills put on. Baby proof your house. Make sure everything he shouldn't be touching cannot be reached by him. No matter how you scream or spank, he will not quite understand yet. Do not teach him anything that you would want him to do to you. If you spank, yell or hit, he will only learn to copy those.

sounds like normal behaviour to me. some kids are just more active than other. my 3 year old is the same way, everyone tells me to be patient and she'll grow out of it. especially when they start school they'll start to calm down cause they get taught there that it's not ok to run around when they want.
