We've all heard about pro smackers and non prosmackers when it comes to kids.

From what I've gathered I think this is usually from parents that may have been beaten hard when they were younger and do not want to inflict this on their kids, or by soft or politically correct parents.
What would you do if your kid was not this this beautiful bundle of cotton wool that made the occasional *Boo boo* and was in fact a feral crazy swearing nightmare the kind you see on supernanny. Would you then still stand by the no smacking rule even as your kid tries to assaut you with swearwords and weapons or would you then agree that a smack on the hand could be beneficial in restoring order?

your problem is that you assume a child who isnt hit regularly is out of control, mine are well behaved and polite and they have special needs, next door have 2 girls who are shouted at and hit regularly, are they well behaved?? no they are not.
its starts from babyhood, you instill values into a child at an early age, they grow up respectful, if they misbehave they lose their priviledges.

"a feral crazy swearing nightmare " Where would a child get such behaviour from if they didnt learn it from someone else?
smacking is not a black and white issue. There are many areas inbetween.
My 2 have both been smacked, though it extremely rare. I also know of parents who dont smack who have terribly behaved children as well as those who have well behaved children. same goes for those parents who smack.
My parents smacked me, though again very rarely, and it has not meant that i lash out at my children.

My son never gets smacked and he is the most polite, well behaved boy you could wish to meet.
The best way to get a child to be good is with positive reinforcement. Reward good behaviour but punish bad behaviour with withdrawal of privileges. You have to be consistent and follow through with any threats when they do misbehave.

It's question of degree. When I was in Africa I saw herds of elephants where the young bulls were kept in place by the matriarch. There was nothing excessive or brutal, just a firm nudge or tap with the trunk. Similar behaviour is common amongst the higher mammals. I don't see why a little slap on the hand will do anything more than alert a child that they've crossed a boundary. It shouldn't be as a punishment. But what do I know............I used to whack my son when he was naughty and he has grown into a very nice and calm person. On the other hand his twin daughters have never been slapped in their lives and at 6 years of age are virtually out of control.
A good smack definately restores order
Works with my wife every time?
What? - that's a no no?
You telling me I can hit children but not women?
Seriously though what sort of planet are you on?
What sort of feral child is in your fevered imagination that
"assaults you with swear words and weapons" yet "a smack on the hand restores order"?
Are there Unicorns in this scenario?
