Though don't overuse it...

It actually contradicts your point.

Kids need to learn right from wrong and how to behave early on in life or they end up brats ,my children used to get a tap ( A single tap ) on the backside if they did anything really wrong, I prefer a slap to ending up with some of the youths roaming the streets like we have now who were never taught right from wrong

No one is denying that, you can teach them how to behave without violence though.

Not that I necessarily think child on child violence is a great thing either, though it's pretty inevitable, but... It's a totally different situation

Yup, violence begets violence. Raise a child through violence and they'll go through life thinking it's the answer to any and all problems they face.

at one time in primary school, i got 6 of the belt every day for about 2 weeks. My hands were so bruised my parents went to the school and kicked up hell.

In my day that was quite a common occurrence. Some teachers used line up the entire class and belt them
