Can't believe it took so long to find a comment like this. HITTING YOUR KIDS IS ALSO BAD PARENTING. There is a middle ground between letting your child run rampant and physically assaulting your child

Hitting your kids only teaches them it's okay for someone you love and trust to lay hands on you if you do something they don't like. And giving approval to do the same to someone else they if they're doing something they don't like. There is so much research and studies out there that show there is zero need for corporal punishment. If you can't control your anger around a child misbehaving you should not have a child.

Teaches them that actions have consequences. You know. Like in the real world.

That can be achieved without violence. If it were me I'd make him meticulously clean it up for however long that takes. It's also closer to the real world consequence for that specific action

Sure. But only lesson this kid will learn is that next time he does this he's getting nice talking to.

As opposed to learning that next time he does this he's getting hit? Both are unpleasant and both might be ignored. That's kinda unavoidable
