No, you can not always reason with the child but that does not mean you can not out smart the child. Certainly does not mean one should skip trying to out smart them and go for the spanking. Spankings come when the parents cognitive ability runs out.

Is there no situation where outsmarting a child is not possible? Is it 100% guaranteed you can always reason with or outsmart a child?

In my case? I'm sure. I'm not the smartest person in the world. However, that changes nothing. If I can not out smart the child or situation, I have not out smarted it. There is no getting away from the fact that the child gets spanked due to my inability to outsmart the situation. This is a hard pill for most parents but love will push their pride aside if it is there.
