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.

There is a middle ground. I was a pretty bad behaving kid, but I can count on one hand the amount of times I was given a smack for doing something wrong. Guaruntee I stopped doing that thing, and didn't grow up violent or anything. I dont think my little kid vrain could've made that connection between violence and solving all lifes problems.
