I am personally absolutely against using physical violence against people, be it unknown or known, friends, parents, wives, husbands and, of course, children. And I live with my wife and three teenagers, so this is not merely theory. Using physical violence against children is a misuse of power and this is exactly what the child learns through it: that it is OK to use power over weaker people and force them into doing whatever you want them to do.
GMaster – yes, I agree that a swift smack does not cause much physical harm, but it hurts emotionally, since we all need respect, autonomy… I believe you also would not like if I swiftly smacked you over your head when I disagreed with you or disliked your words, for instance. For children, being in a weaker and dependent position, it is even much more painful when they are physically violated by their parents, the people they need safety and love from the most.

A swift smack with a hand does not harm, beating kids with belt and wooden spoons etc is cruel
