suresh..it is illegal to hit a child in many countries... would you hit your wife? try humour...he hit you first... so you hit back to get him to speak?.. i'd go to a doctor..maybe there is a medical condition..you have a computer..do some searching on net... a hug and a cuddle and a tickle might work heaps better than a slap... .i was a high school teacher for 30 years and raised 2 kids and have 2 grandkids 5 and 3...never hit any of them..and never felt like it..i rarely get angry... what makes me quietly angry? ignorance and greed..though even that i see is part and parcel of the human condition that many folk just can't help themselves..take care..all the best..merle
