And what about the idea that hitting a child merely teaches them to hit? First:No. Wrong. Too simple. For starters, “hitting” is a very unsophisticated word todescribe the disciplinary act of an effective parent. If “hitting” accuratelydescribed the entire range of physical force, then there would be no differencebetween rain droplets and atom bombs. Magnitude matters—and so doescontext, if we’re not being wilfully blind and naïve about the issue.
