Abuse of a child is never OK. discipline is one thing abuse is another.If you mean is it OK to hit a child then there are differing schools of thought on this. I personally don't think there is any real problem with giving a child a slap on the back side or on some part of the body where you are not going to cause lasting harm or bruising. However I also feel that if you are willing to apply the self discipline to come up with ways and means of not having to do this sort of thing and it is possible then it is even better. But which ever way you go about it you should never hit a child in anger.
