Sorry, but you cannot compare spanking/corporal punishment to a mother cat biting and grabbing her kitten by the shoulders. Not the same thing.

You are not wrong. This person is either a troll, or someone who finds this conversation very threatening. Or both!

Perhaps that particular animal metaphor didn't work, but one that 100% does is attachment. It's also not really a metaphor, but the biological, genetic hardwiring present at birth until death of all mammals to seek comfort, security, and safety from their caregivers (and as we grow into adults, from our parters,…

I posted this to another commenter. Great article on dealing with aggression in kids without using spanking. Your kid doesn't like being violent with you and getting spanked in return, and I get that it's hard and you don't like it, either. Hope this helps.
