I am not a fan of smacking children. I have never smacked my children and they are both fine, one is 15 the other a 21 year old mother who herself doesnt smack her son.

I used other ways to discipline my children, I used the naughty step, I used withrdawl of their favourite thing for a short time. I grounded them as they got older and have no problem stopping my teenager from using the computer or removing her phone should I need to punish her for anything.

I just think smacking sends out the wrong message to children, it kind of says it's ok to hit someone if they do something you dont like or you said not to do. I dont however judge others who choose to use smacking as a form of controlling their kids, each to their own I suppose.
