I agree with Dave and it's not like you have to smack the child for every
transgression. Once you've smacked them for crayoning on the wall when they
discover another inappropriate action you can inform them if they do it
again, that too will lead to a smacking.

Perhaps Christopher should do an experiment. Have three kids, smack one,
tell the second not to do things again and let the third run riot without
any kind of discipline at all (he/she would be the control subject after all).

Surely the term Violence only covers actions that are meant to cause injury,
permanent or otherwise. I'd be the last person to assult or injure a child,
I just think with the undeveloped mind of a child sometimes a smack is
probably the only thing that would work. I'm just trying to not demonise the
average parent unlike certain minorities.
