Wrong. I can't imagine ever bringing myself to smack a child, even lightly.

It's also not exactly setting a good example, I wouldn't want my child thinking in any way that hitting somebody could be the right thing to do.

I agree, there are other ways to discipline kids. You're not allowed to put your hands on an another adult so I don't see why you should be allowed to do it to someone smaller than you.
