No, it's not. Properly done. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 01:44:30 PM
A smack should never leave a mark (apart from maybe a bit of redness for an hour or so). If there are bruises it's not a spanking.

A spanking should not be done in anger because it's harder to control yourself.

But a smack is sometimes the only option you have to teach your child not to throw things at the cat, or stomp on the dog's paw, or put his hand on the fire/heater etc. Children cannot always be reasoned with - very young children cannot be reasoned with at all. How else are you to teach them not to do the bad things children always do as they discover their world?
