Well, technically if you are spanking a child, you are hitting them. But the term hitting just means physically smacking someone with your hand, or something else, in anger and in the spur of the moment. It is done much more coldly than a spanking. A spanking is a discipline, a punishment, and it is done much more lovingly, when the parent is in total control of mind and the intent is not to hurt the child, but to correct them, and teach them a lesson lovingly. Also, hitting can occur at any part of the body, whereas a spanking is directed singularly to the bottom.

Why do people think spankings are bad for children?
Hitting anyone is not a good thing, especially a child. You are teaching the child that physical violence is acceptable when you hit him/her. Spanking is degrading to a child. It has been proven that spanking or hitting children does not change their behavior, nor does it teach them an appropriate means of dealing with problems. What one person calls a spanking may turn into a beating from someone else. There are more appropriate ways to teach and discipline children, even young children; time out, loss of privileges, temporary loss of toys, electronics etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- well when your children are juz out of control most parents pop their children because i think its a difference between displine and beating because beating is where u abuse your child and displine is getting some home training and some self control
