Don't believe in hitting kids but 'coz its illegal to hit adults' doesn't work.Illegal to take adults stuff away or confine them 2 house too
Disciplining children is not about teaching them methods for dealing with conflicts as adults. Its about giving them boundaries.

Yes. And I would argue that it's a bad idea to teach them (without intending to) that boundaries can be set with violence.
-
But boundaries can be set by taking ppl's stuff (theft) and confining them indoors (kidnapping)? No. The logic doesn't work.
-
The way we discipline children necessarily involves providing negative consequences that wld be abusive/illegal if done to adults.
-
There are good arguments against corporal punishment but 'we wouldn't want them to learn to do it to others as adults' isn't one.
