I personally believe that spanking to "stun" your kid when they're young is fine if they're doing something very wrong or dangerous, like sticking keys in electrical sockets or pulling the dog's ears (woops!), but I personally think that striking a child with any intent to physically hurt them is cruel and inexcusable. My mom swatted me on my ass a few times when I was a kid and got the point across without causing any actual physical harm. My brothers, my husband, my parents and I are all living proof that you can grow up without physical punishment and turn out absolutely fine.
