first of all my son is only 13 months old im not going to "woop" him.. when he throws fits and stuff i give him pops on the hand or the butt but i will not "woop" him he is to young and has no idea what it even really is for yet.. i didnt ignore his screaming and crying i was telling him thats not how he behaves and there is only so much you can do for a baby to understand, but telling him to stop isnt going to make him cuz he doesnt truly understand yet..idc if your son looks up to you, hes older prob and understands more so thats why you can discpline him more.. trust me he will be disciplined but there is only so much you can do when they are still young..
