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?

Physical discipline is not the same as physical abuse, though many blur the lines.

Different children respond to different stimulus, words and penalties for their behaviour may not be enough to educate a child.

Just make sure there is a very good reason to do it after all other methods failed and always with a calm mind, never out of frustration. The latter is what leads to abuse.

Well said.. I think it has a place AFTER one has exhausted many other options.
