personally....I never do. To quote someone else I agree completely with on these Q and A's:
Agree. Don't get me wrong, children need discipline. But striking them is completely unnecessary. There are alternate methods, and the example you set is more important than any corrective action you take. What I mean is, you may have a child that needs to be smacked, but the reason they'll only respond to that is your behavior, as a parent. Moreover, striking a child as a form of discipline encourages the notion that physical violence is acceptable, as a solution to conflict.
