My parents used to potch us for dangerous things, like touching the stove or running in the street. I actually don’t think it’s so bad?
I never ever ever hit out of anger or frustration. But one time when my toddler kept hitting my baby and nothing else worked I made sure I wasn’t angry, completely calm, and I potched him lightly to show him what it felt like. Is that abusive? I only did it once.
Also, I will physically hold his hands and restrain him from potching, or pinch his cheeks together keep him from biting me or the baby. It’s not out of anger, it’s literally just to stop him. It doesn’t hurt him. Is that abusive? What else can I do when he’s not listening and I can’t get up and go to a different room?

sounds like you use it how it’s meant to be used- only when your own emotions are not in the picture.
You sound like a great mother!
