No it is not. you are getting into the area of abuse. There are other ways such as time out, finding out why the child smacked others and teach the child there are other ways other than using force, etc. I know the knee-jerk reaction is to whack the offending kid with the attitude of "There, see what it's like to get hit. You won't do that again." but restrain yourself, there are alternatives. you just need to explore them and put them into practice.

Are you allowed to smack your kid?

Yes and no, there are some countries where it is not allowed at all and others where there is no law to cover it. Developed countries generally don't allow it however it also depends on the nature of the smack. Some would consider a small tap to the hand or leg as a reprimand that is entirely acceptable but others consider any form of hitting a child to be wrong. I think the middle ground is best as children do need discipline as well as love and understanding. NO! that is your child! you smack your child...then it will do the same to their children. if its naughty...tell it off....DO NOT smack.

Is smacking turning into violence?

In some ways it has. It actually depends on the way you smack. Hitting someone in anger is violence. Hitting someone in a playful way is sometimes acceptable to that person although it shows a mean streak in the person smacking. Try a hug instead. It is a lot less violent and much more appreciated.
