I definitely deserved at least one of the smacks from my mother. But other than that yes I will agree that physical punishment or retaliation against kids should be avoided at all costs.
Thing is, I look at my neice and shudder to think someone would hit her. No matter how bad she can be, she doesn’t deserve to be beat for it. It makes me upset to remember I was only 4 when I was hit across the face by my mom. I look at her and think, “God, how could someone hurt such a small girl?”.
