I personally see no issue with being hit if the child is really being a pain. You never hit them hard (unless you're actually abusive) and it's just a sting that lasts about a minute for them anyway. I was smacked from time to time when I showed off and I know full well I deserved to be. Too many parents aren't strict enough with their children and they're so against kids being hit, yet they end up scared of their own children when they become teenagers and never obey them.
