i'm not saying it's okay for kids to go around smacking each other, but for you to say in 17 years it's never happened - not one time - i'm not buying it.
it breaks MY heart that someone with your, um, "wisdom" would tell such silly tales.
You can choose not to believe it and that's cool. I have a system of raising children from birth to five that results in NO violence at all. I'm 31 years into raising kids and I'm really good at what I do.
Kids CAN be raised in a completely non violent zero tolerance policy care. I do it every day.
