[quote=Anonymous]All of these other words for hitting. Spanking. A swat. Smacking. Those are all words for hitting, which is violence. It just is. You can argue that your violence is justified. You can say, I need to be violent to my kids in order to get them to behave. But you don't say that. You say you spank your kid. You say you gave him a swat. You say he got smacked. All of those are ways that you minimize the reality, which is that you are comfortable being violent to your children. You can limit your violence to certain circumstances. You can justify it as an intense reaction to a specific situation - kid ran in the street and required an intense punishment to prevent future dangerous behavior, for example. You can say that you are not spanking in anger, that it is a rational punishment administered and then repaired with the child. [/quote]
