do you support smacking your children?

I do smack my kids but only on the bum or legs and only when they really push it, usually the threat of it is enough to stop them but sometimes they need a quick smack to bring them back into line LOL

Smacking is okay if the parent doesn't do it too often, and doesn't hit the child's head too hard. My mother used to smack me when I did something wrong and did so till I was about 10 or 11 years old. Without a few good, resounding smacks, I would never have gotten it into my head that some of the things I did were plain naughty. Of course it must only be done when the child does something to deserve it....because after that, everytime the kid is about to misbehave he knows what the punishment is, and if he misbehaves he knows what's going to happen and he also knows he deserved it.
