I am curious to know how you would prevent a child from running into the road given that said child isn't yet mentally developed enough to understand the risk.

I am curious to know how you would prevent a child from running into the road given that said child isn't yet mentally developed enough to understand the risk. And they will do it over and over regardless of how well or in how many different ways you try to explain the risk to them.
- DanBC 10y agoJust checking, but are you saying it's okay to hit a child in that situation?
- icebraining 10y agoWho said anything about hitting a child? We were talking about grounding them.

[...] I'd take the slap over the other things any time of the day. And when this specific instance (child runs into road) has come up before there are always people saying they'd hit the child. So, I'm just checking if that's what jasonkolb meant or not.
