OT: or is this the reason why kids are such spoiled brats nowadays?

I don't think that it is the only reason. Creating a spoiled brat is not only because you refuse to hit your child. A bunch of practices would make a child spoiled such as: Giving whatever they want or eat, following whatever they want to do, Not calling their attention when having a bad behavior, giving money deliberately and spending it at their disposal and so many things. This would definitely make a spoiled brat.

I simply don't beleive on corporal punishment cause if you communicate with someone especially your own child, there should be an understanding or at least a connection for the child to follow by simply who you are to them. YOU CAN ALWAYS TALK TO THEM and call their attention again and again and again but not hit them. Communication is not exclusive for adults only, you can talk to your kids as well, So much so that we beleive corporal punishment as the only way to discipline a child, when we very well know that it is not the only way to discipline kids.

Sa atin kasi, spoiled brats are born out of lack of attention sa parents when parents don't give a damn sa mga anak nila. Pinababayaan lang sa mga yaya at binibigay na lang lahat ng mga gusto. Also, we always equate a spoiled brat to a child who is outspoken and I personally do not agree with that. Instead, encourage your child to speak out whatever they feel. Ito yung dahilan kung bakit andaming Pilipino with low self-esteem kasi pinapagalitan when they try to speak-out when they were kids.

Problema lang kasi is that we think that a child is a small adult, and that we can teach them adult ways. As a matter of fact, they can't act like one since their intellectual development is on a stage that wouldn't allow them to act like an adult as of yet. It will be quite amazing to see a 5-year old child to act like an 18-year-old. If there's a way to make it work like this, wala nang problema ang parents. But a child is a child and it is only a matter of time for kids to actually gain awareness and it is the parents responsibility to guide them to their awakening to adult life.

Personally, I don't want to be the one whom my child will recall in his adult years who taught him violence in action. Do you?

good call on putting those corner protectors sir boybi. ung isang lumang lamesa sa bahay, dati pointed ung corners nun. my dad filed down the corners after my brother's head showed an astounding attraction to table corners B).

kumusta na ung anak mong me WD40? you didn't shave his head did you? B). nung bata pa ako i found a bottle with some gooey stuff in it on my uncle's desk. when they said it was gel, tinikman ko -- akala ko gelatin B).

kung sa pagkakulit ng bata, i think its ok to just let them be -- better to have a healthy, makulit na child than a sickly one -- pero when it comes to manners, treating other people, etc., then i believe it's the family's responsibility to discipline the child. You should not treat your relationship with kids(while they're young and stupid) as a democracy, 'coz

democracy - responsiblity = anarchy
