Spanking is a perfectly valid method of discipline for people who actually cannot control a 5 year old without hitting them.

Last resort, physical strength when intelligence is matched.

Are you saying all 5 year olds are dumb? Some are smarter than you already believe it or not. Born with intelligence it is not learned.

I think he's referring to the intelligence of the parents (as in, they're not intelligent enough to figure out a way of discipline that doesn't involve spanking).

I could be wrong, though.

Yellow said matched intelligence. So either the 5 year old is stupid like the parent that is beating them or they are both intelligent and the parent is still beating them. Garbage English is garbage English period.

Or that even if a 5 year old is smart there is a difference between intelligence and giving a fuck. Kids are going to do what they want to do unless the parents find some way to make the understand why they shouldn't and sometimes the kid knowing there will be consequences is what stops them.

I knew at five it was wrong to hit anything for no reason and that was my own opinion, not forced. Not all children are as mindless as you think they are. They may lack some experience but they are people already. Especially at that age.

I have seen five year olds outsmart their own parents and the parents did not even know because they are only five and cannot possibly be able to do that so they think anyway. That is why there are ten year olds that can do maths equations you probably would never be able to do me included even. You are born with your Intelligence otherwise everyone would be apart of Mensa at some point if it was just learned.
