Should parents/guardians hit their children?

I got abused, and i cant control my fist sometimes..

Well you have anger problems then. Supernanny isn't going to hit kids because why would a parent want someone else to hit their kids? The reason these parents get her in the first place is because they're too scared to take any disciplinary action against their kids.

Well I'm sorry about that, and I am aware it can have its risks, but Im proof it can work.

Exactly, thats my point And I don't feel abused when my Dad has done things to me, and I've some harsh corporal punishment in the past, only for really severe things.

I dont agree with it, because we made mistakes, but if you mean like, you got caught with sex, then maybe, but not for breaking things lol

A little slap on the arm or bum for disiplin(sp) is alright I suppose.

If I did something my mistake then no, but if I purposely do it, then yeah, I will get smacked or whipped.

They should be allowed to, but discouraged to. I think that the best way of educating a child is via reasoning. If you hit a child because they do something wrong, their mindset would be "I do not want to do this thing because i'm afraid my parent will hit me", however if you educate them, they would think, "I do not want to do this thing because its wrong". Hitting should be used as a last resort to the most incoherent child, but later the parents should explain to the child that they have no choice but to hit them, and explain to them why this thing they do is wrong.

Yes, if they are been naughty. They then "should" learn not to do it again as it will result in pain. They should first have a warning and if they don't stop thats when you get Mr Slap out ;o

But not brutaly beat them :p
