So long rambling short, Smacking is not acceptable. Not sure why the OP used the word smacking though. A light spanking is acceptable I think in some cases. But it should be used in moderation, so that the kid does not learn that violence is good.

OP is British, we use the term 'smacking' for discipling a child, you USAians use spanking. Same thing.

 

 I see no harm in it, it's not abuse, that something else entirely. Good parenting is the best though.



Hmm, pie.
