The two are accused of using violence to discipline North

On the small screen they seem like laid back parents and you'd think that their jet-setting lifestyle affords their daughter a lot of freedom, but a recent report indicates that Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West are actually very strict parents.

The report came about as Reggie Bush, one of Kim's former flames, came under fire for admitting that he would “harshly” discipline his own children. Radar says that insiders close to the celebrity couple insist that Kim and Kanye would never resort to violent measures to educate one-year-old North.

Insiders swear Kim and Kanye would never spank North

“Kim and Kanye decided before North was born there would be no spanking, ever. It's not how they want to raise their daughter. As North gets older, and when she acts up, there will be time outs, taking away a favorite toy, but absolutely no physical discipline.”

The insider goes one to point out another example from the Kardashian family, Kourtney, adding that “Kim’s older sister Kourtney doesn’t spank her kids, and they are very well behaved. North will be given clear boundaries that a child needs, and there will be consequences that won’t involve any hitting or spanking. It’s all about rewarding the positive behavior, and dealing with the naughty tantrums with patience and love.”

Meanwhile, Bush claimed that he had no problem disciplining his one-year-old daughter, Briseis. He said that he wouldn't shy away from the occasional spanking, but added that “definitely will try to obviously not leave bruises or anything like that on her.”

The whole domestic violence issue has been clouded by recent incidents with NFL players

The entire matter comes at a very delicate moment, when several players in the NFL have come under fire for domestic violence. Minnesota Vikings player Adrian Peterson was actually indicted when it was found out that he fiercely beat his 4-year-old son with a tree branch, leaving cuts and bruises all over his body.

The insider claims that this could never happen in the Kardashian-West household. “She has her daddy wrapped around her little finger. It’s very clear that Kim will have to be the disciplinarian when North gets older. There is no way Kanye would ever be able to hand down a punishment on North because when it comes to her, she can do no wrong. She is such a daddy’s girl. It’s adorable to see them together.”

So far, there has been no indication that North has been disciplined in a harsh manner, but there are voices that say that indeed Kim is going to be the one doing the disciplining around the house, since Kanye is so dazed by his little daughter.
