Whacking a kid because he/she has wound you up is a no no and probably makes up 90% of smacks

I've never seen a "cotrolled" smack!! It's always people who are angry with their kids

it can happen, if you find you 3 year old trying to insert a screwdriver into a socket for example you will not be angry you will be scared and you want to make the scolding impactful so that it NEVER happens again..

Yeah, I suppose you're right but my hubby shouting is scarier than a smack lol
