Can you recommend how to hit a child without leaving any bruising? I don't want to get in trouble?

It's best not to hit a child in any circumstance, but if you are going to resort to corporal punishment, a better way to do it would be to use open handed swats to the back or upper arms, rather than striking them hard with an open hand to the body or face. The back and arms are more fleshier and have better padding to break the force of the strike and prevent bruising.  Additionally, aim to strike away from the bony parts of the body, like the ribs and the back of the head.
