The 40-year-old reality star, who has three children – Mason, nine, Penelope, seven, and Reign, four – with her ex-partner Scott Disick, got into a heated argument with her mum Kris Jenners boyfriend Corey during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians over acceptable ways to discipline children.

In the episode, Kourtney and her sister Kim Kardashian West both claimed their children have lashed out at their nannies in the past, and Corey said if Penelope were to ever scratch him, hed give her a spanking for sure.

Kourtney and 36-year-old Scott both slammed Corey for his comments, and the Poosh founder has now taken to Twitter to insist physically hurting a child is not an acceptable way to get your kids in check.

She wrote: In my opinion, beating children is not [how] to get your kids in check. When children are hurting or frustrated, the answer is not to physically hurt them.
