Completely unacceptable! Hitting is Hitting is hitting.........it doesn't matter where it is on the body, it is still hitting! Creating physical pain doesn't change a childs behavior, it creates pain. PERIOD. and that is unacceptable in my opinion.
would you let your neighbor hit your child? NO....then why should you hit your child?
In reply to Yukon Cornelius, when my 2 year old said "no" I simply walked away from them, went to the fridge, got a glass of ice water and threw it on them. That gets the same response as if I would have spanked them.
