Abstract
This paper reviews contradictions between the increasing recognition that smacking is unnecessary and dangerous and its continuing prevalence and acceptability. Two underlying causes for this paradox are considered: the cultural system that constructs children as human becomings rather than human beings, and the power system that guarantees „parents‟ rights‟ over children‟s human rights. We highlight the lack of critical engagement with these issues by the anti-smacking lobby and outline the beginnings of an alternative approach.
