i do not attack my children
if you hit your children, you simply teach them that violence is the way to instill correct behavior
that's not a lesson I want my children to learn
I understand that an angry person might be angry that the whole world doesn't act the way he or she acts, since you would be looking for ways to justify your actions to yourself- if you have children, and you are hitting them, I suggest you might want to think about that, yourself. Most parents know, when they are hitting that child, that it just feels wrong, but anger and lack of skills combine to make them impotent of anything but violence.

I'm not sure why you'd think I would use "Hollow threats"
those are for people who get really angry
and punish children out of anger
it sounds like you are really angry

Maybe a good parenting class is in order for you, so you can find out a little about how discipline ought to work. Positive discipine is really the most important tool we parents have. You obviosuly don't know much about that- but you might want to read up on it.
