I personally would not want to hit my child. I would rather have my husband do it. If they are really bad (disprespectful, obnoxious, rude, or just bad in those senses) then I could see pulling out the belt or wooden spoon. I think intimidation is the key to getting a kid to listen and shut up. And that doesn't have to be by hitting. It could be by being their friend and then when something goes wrong in anysense then letting them know you mean business by out smarting them... or getting in their face.
