Reply To: To Petch or not to Petch

o.k., with all due respect, I am not a mad man or an angry person who goes around hitting my kids from frrustration every day or anything like that. Nothing like that! I would say i petch my kids on their bottom about once every 2-3 weeks. I feel man enough to admit my bad midda, and wish more than anything else to FIX this. I will be speaking to my rebbi about it for help IY”H. Until then, I am looking for pointers and proper chinuch techniques from you posters, not criticism and mussar shoozen on how bad it is to petch when upset. I love my children more than anything else and recognize my fault openly. Constructive criticism is fine, but right now I am seeking alternatives and advice.
