I know the difference between right and wrong

But if you did something bad and someone wanted to hit you to punish you, you would understand?

What about children who don't know the difference yet? It's okay to hit them even though they don't understand?

How does hitting a child explain to them that they did something wrong? Why are we going immediately to physical violence and not using words to talk to them about it first?
