Is it wrong to hit her if she is misbehaving?

I don't believe hitting a child teaches them anything . I think it's done out of anger on the parents part . I try communicating when my son misbehaves , also consequences of his actions ...I take privledges away when the consequences aren't good ones .

@dunpender: I've never hit any child ever . It's not in me to do that . I try gentle persuasion or I simply tell him he's getting privledges taking away for however long I see fit . Children are just that ...children ...hitting them only teaches them it's ok to solves problems with violence. I prefer my son learn to use critical thinking to work out the problem . It takes patience, I'm not saying I'm perfect by any means but it's worth teaching your child other ways to solve problems rather then resorting to hitting .

@ Chernobylplayground:
Me too dear.
I was raised with corporal punishment.
Personally, I do NOT believe there is any need for it, and did not raise my child in the manner I was raised.

The outcome goes in two extremes, when this manner of *discipline* is ab/used /misused by the parent.
One: the child becomes a bully, or worse. And this insidious circle can continue...sadly.
Two: the child becomes victim of bullies and so their life can be scarred from an early age.
It can plummet them into depth of depression, self loathing and abusing illicit substances to numb out, even self harm.
Actually in both scenarios, they want to numb out
because in both scenarios, THEY ARE BEING ABUSED.
