Will you ever smack your child?

Lets just say there was a valid reason. Can this be considered as abuse if it only happened once?

Smacking is abusive. A well placed spank for disobedience or disrespect doesn't harm them and gets their attention. Once they are old enough to reason then appropriate punishments are more effective. Such as time out or loss of a privilege.
