Both my kids have had a slap on the legs or backside when they were younger. To be honest i cant remember the last time I had to with Callum (He is 4), he knows right from wrong and isn't naughty, just cheeky now.
I got some right cracks when I was a kid, round the head and once pretty serious which I don't agree with and have been apologised to for it when I was older.
There is a line between giving your kid a smack on the leg, hand, backside to actually properly hitting them. Im all for a smack on the leg, backside and hand.

Physical punishment, no matter how 'soft' you claim it to be is in my book for people who aren't capable of raising their children in a way it should be done in 2012. (Even though i'm convinced it was part of raising children a long time ago when society was alot harsher than it is now it).
It's all about making them clear where the boundaries are, and in todays 'softer' society, any sort of physcal punishment will backfire in a hard sooner or later when your kids grow older and find it normal to beat or 'smack' on other human beigns when they don't agree in a specific discussion.

Do you have kids?
People wonder why a lot of kids now are little shits and its because they are NOT scared/worried of their parents, because they know they will do sweet fa to them.
So what your saying is, if you smack a child, when they grow up they will find it normal to beat other human beings up? What a load of crap. I was smacked and remember being spanked on the backside with the belt too by my grandparents. I dont beat my kids up or anyone else.
