I would never take a belt on my kid, but they are going to get spanked if they do something wrong. Seriously, a slap on the hand is not going to teach them a lesson. Children do need discipline.
Kids are getting way outta hand, and sometimes I'll see parents let them do whatever they want. Example: Screaming and throwing fits in stores because they want something. I'll see the parent get very upset over this and just end up buying the wanted thing for their child. If it was my kid, they would be in the bathroom and be spanked for showing such behavior.
Of course when they get older I wouldn't do this to them anymore..just probably take away privileges and such things. Like you said in the first post, if they teenager or whatever tried to hit me and such, I probably would smack it across the cheek. It isn't going to kill them, just give them a red mark across their face for a few hours. I would never do something that would damage them.
