Hit them with your belt I always used to say to my boy when he was small "Hoy,sinteron nin kita" he just laughed and said "Bakit" I had a good answer "Bakit hindi" I wouldnt really hit him,I dont agree with hitting kids,not that theres a right way nor a wrong way to bring up a child,just everyone has different views havent they?How olds your step-son Mrs M?Small child??
