I grew up in the post war generation. My parents and teachers were strict and we knew how far we could push them. We had the utmost respect for all elders and yes, we did get a slap or at school the guys would get walloped with the cane. I never remember my parents lifting their hands to us kids. We grew up in a world of discipline where love and security were evident. We didn't suffer from stress, anxiety depression, Conditions so many youngsters are being treated for today. Life happened and we got on with it. However this attitude does I realize open doors to abuse of children. We also grew up in very different times when drugs were what the doctor prescribed.
