When do you think it's okay to hit your child?

Hitting your child is never okay, and it is always an act of violence and oppression. In no circumstances should physical punishment be used to discipline a child, regardless of what culture or region one may be from. There are other effective and healthier ways to discipline a child which don't involve hitting them, like positive reinforcement, setting boundaries, providing consequences that are age-appropriate and consistent as well as having open conversations with the children about their behavior.

It is never okay to hit your child. Hitting your child as a form of discipline is not only ineffective, but can also be physically and emotionally damaging. It can lead to negative behaviours, such as fear and aggression, instead of positive changes in behaviour.
