Been watching Loose Wimmin today eh...
I'm in favour. Stop it .. smack .... don't do it again .... explain why.
As long as you don't forget the explain bit I don't see it as a problem as a last resort. But imo kids are/can be cunning little twats, if you always take the nicely softly 'talk to them like little adults' approach they will walk all over you.

My daughter is three years old and, as they are at that age, quite trying at times, but for me I'd be mortified if I so much as raised my voice at her aggressively. I have to be firm with her and convey that she's doing something wrong that is making Daddy unhappy, of course, as sometimes it is for her own immediate safety too - e.g. "Stop playing with the plug socket!" - but I make a conscious effort not to use the word "angry" or to show anger.
Not saying I always manage it, but it's my aim. If I can't control her without anger, it's up to me to work out a better strategy, anger is not the answer, IMO.
I have no issue with smacking other people's kids.
on an unrelated note, my trial starts next week.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
I wish the anti-smackers would stop equating a smack (ie the flat of the hand) with a thump (ie the fist).

my mum used to take a chainsaw to us. We knew we were in trouble when you came home from school and she'd be sat at the kitchen table, sharpening old cutty.
Hurt at the time, but never did me any harm, made me the man I am today.
