No, as long as it is repeated in excess and doesn't leave long lasting pain or any type of lasting damage.

That being said, I find it horribly ineffective in the long run because all it does is give them the idea that using direct methods of force and confrontation is an appropriate means of getting something to happen, which, for 99% of children and 95% of adults, isn't the case. I feel that it just sets them up for failure when it comes to expectations vs reality.

Edit: I'm also not saying that it's gonna ruin their life or anything stupidly drastic, just that it fails to really teach them anything useful. All it really serves is the parent(s).

It taught me there was consequences for my actions and I'd be held accountable. If the parent fails to teach that part of it then they goofed.

Now my mom was a punishment fits the crime type of mother she didn't incorporate physical punishment for say bad grades or not doing my chores. But shit like hitting my brother yeah I got my ass beat.
