more power to you then... I'll never know this guarantee is being honored as this is only an internet forum primarily made up of strangers but if you NEVER in your career as a parent have to resort to physical discipline (this means even a minor smack on the butt) because you truly feel it wouldn't be necessary given the current situation, congrats. The true test really isn't whether or not you ever lay a hand on your child... it's whether or not your child truly develops completely and more properly then say, another child who was smacked a few times for being bad. Not saying one is better then the other... I think it's, as you put it, to each their own.
