Richard Hogan: My husband spanks the kids, but lets them on screens all weekend

'Technology has been a serious challenge for my partner and me. It is the main area we fight over, but we also differ on how to discipline the children. My partner will spank the children from time to time and I just don’t agree with it.'

Learning Points: I'm worried my sons are gaming too much.

Dear Richard, 

I am a mother of four, 3 boys and a girl. My eldest is 12 and the youngest is 5. I always wanted to be a mother. My own childhood was difficult and I want to get it right, but I feel I’m not doing the best at it, which really upsets me.
