If you hit your child you totally lost the trust and relationship with your child. NO! do not hit your child ever..... i dont want to say you can't hit your child but i deffinitly dont want you to think it is okay to hit your child. hitting your child is basically child abuse and child abuse can cause worst case senareo that your child is taken and put into foster care. also, you would go to court and could be sent to jail deppending on the level you abused them.

Another View: Much depends on what the questioner means by "hitting" your child.

Some the above answer can be true - especially the part about discipline turning into abuse. There is a line between 'spanking' and abuse.

HOWEVER - legally speaking (in the US) the laws of many (all?) states do not prohibit spanking (i.e.: corporal punishment) per se UNLESS it becomes EXCESSIVE. The parental option of being able to choose the level of punishment they apply is generally left to them alone and the government steps in only if/when the punishment becomes excessive.

If a child hit another child what can the parent do?

If you are the parent of the child that hit the other you need to teach your child to not hit. To do so, most of the time, time out works. Get a chair, put it in the corner of the room, and make them sit in the chair with nothing to do. make them sit there the number of years they are in minutes. EXAMPLE: if they are five, make them sit for five min. if you are the parent of the child that got hit, find the parent of the other child and tell them about it. Make your child that got hit feel better by comforting them.
