If a parent slaps a child it means they have lost control of the situation and the shame is on them.
Dispipline does not have to be physical punishment, we received that growing up and I hated my parents for it, I certainly didnt have respect for them for it.
I have reared 3 wonderful young people without the need for it and thankfully my son is using the same approach with his son.

To swat your child on the hind-end in their younger years once in a while for corrections and enforcement, I can understand.
If you mean an actual smack as in across the face or mouth.....I've seen instances of mother daughter where the daughter is teen years. I have to say I am still neutral on certain situations because children can and occasionally will get out of hand because they think they can "take you"...etc. I have seen instances with father and son where the son, also a teenager, losses their mind and suddenly they are old enough to be in charge...of every one..etc. Teenagers know everything and often a swat on the rear may not be enough and they've already done the unthinkable. Is a parent supposed to sit back and take that from their own child? In many cases, the child has been raised better but for many reasons, wrong crowds, environments, "love", experimentation...etc. They revolt beyond normal disagreement. Sometimes this can be due to not enough enforcement, direction, and correction, when younger.
Generally their much younger years won't require much correction but may need to know the parent will enforce what they say. As long as it's an occasional correction on the rear, hand only preferred. Spending time with your children helps a lot but it's not always enough if they know a corner, grounding, special item taken away. Things like that may be too lite and children can get to a point where they literally care less and it doesn't bother them in the least.

jac379: For those who have been raised with getting a clip round the ear from the local bobby (the last time this happened to me I was in my thirties)
I don't understand what you mean.
Did a policeman cut your hair???
Or did he put some sort of clip on your ear???

No, I got a slap upside the head for my cheekiness.
Just a gentle one, it was a joke.
I still accused him of police brutality mind.

Concerning the title of this thread.
Since when do we need a "tsar" to oversee our parenting.
What makes this idiot an expert and allows him to invade our families and impose his dictates.
In times past public servants served the citizenry.
But now it seems the situation has been reversed.
We have unelected tsars and commissars appointed to rule over us even for family matters.
Sounds rather Soviet in nature if you ask me.

My parents never used any physical measures to discipline me and I carried that into raising my son. In my opinion, hitting of any kind is a means of instilling fear rather than respect and also teaches children that hitting others is acceptable.

I don't recall my parents ever hitting me or my older brothers and sisters.
Like you say hitting a child does instill fear and teaches them to hit others.
I've heard parents tell their children that it's not nice to hit other people but they hit their children.Double standards.
