Self defence? Not sure exactly what you mean by that. Self Defence is an act of violence in order to defend yourself against an attacker. You don't hit a child in self-defence. All I'm saying is, yes, there was a time when your parent felt it necessary to spank you in order to show you just how bad a thing you had just done, and to ensure you never, ever did it again.
That is what physical discipline is for. There are some things that you don't Get a second chance with, many things that if you do them once and survive, you are very, very lucky. Does the fact that your dad hit you make him a bad person because he hit you once? We're not advocating hitting your children at every opportunity, we're saying it shouldn't be outlawed because some people take it too far.
Personally, i would prefer if someone smacked me if it made it more sure that I would not do it again, rather than to "trust" that I will learn my lesson verbally.
