| Is it really "a reinforcement of showing that what you done was wrong"? Or is it a show of domination from the parent, the "i'm stronger so you must obey" message? It was the latter in my father's case. He liked it, even now he does that to his dog, since there are no children to beat. But one lunatic shouldn't be our example.
The problem is, when hitting your child gets the job done, you're satisfied with that. You stop thinking about better ways. Also, you never know if the child understands why it is being hit, or is just scared of more. And you teach it that violence can be excused, if the one using it "is right". And that's a terrible thing to teach.
