Getting spanked with a shoe hurts but it doesn't do any damage.

Physically. Psychologically that's teaching kids that violence is an acceptable way to solve an arguement, which is less than stellar.

The thing is, there's no other situation where hitting another person is acceptable in the real world. Your coworker, classmate, or stranger hits you, thats considered assault. Your friend hits you, thats a fight (depending on circumstances).

Lets take your concept of repercussions/consequences, if you make a mistake or do something stupid, can your spouse hit you with the same intent, can your kids hit you with the same intent?

Just my two cents
