Some do-its called child abuse.

Also some parents smack children to get rid of their own pent up anger.

Dave-your completely right in what you say- some people think that no smacking means no discipline-Wrong.Jack is disciplined just in a non physical way.I count to 3-when i say '1' he turns round and faces me,when i say '2' he knows his doing wrong and should stop what his doing,so far got to '3' a couple of times-each time i have either moved him from where his standing away from what his doing or taken the object his not meant to be touching off him.Still discipline just not hurting him physically.he still learns but doesnt get hurt in the process.
Once he tests of the boundaries of this method i expect he will be of an age to go on the 'time-out step'.I dont like calling it the 'naughty step'
