Why is it wrong to hit children? How is your morality superior if you don't hit your kids? Kids are people if you don't explain that they face punishment for bad things they'll end up in a lot of shit later in life, while spanking a child may not be the best punishment it is still clearly a good way of making them realizing that they will have to face the consequences of those negative actions.

[quote]Why is it wrong to hit children? How is your morality superior if you don't hit your kids?[/quote] Violation of the Non-Aggression Principle, since it's an initiation of force against somebody or their property. [quote] Kids are people if you don't explain that they face punishment for bad things they'll end up in a lot of shit later in life,[/quote] I'm not advocating for no punishment. I'm arguing that striking your child is not the best way to discipline them. It might come as an absolute last resort, but that's it. It doesn't teach your child the difference between right and wrong, only that disobedience is met with violence.

If you smack someone enough I'm pretty sure that they'll get the message sooner or later.
