Your child has the right to a fair trial AND a well-considered sentence=punishment. Hitting a child because of losing temper is similar to lynching and I'm sure we all know a ton of arguments why that is bad.

I'd like to see your reaction when your seven year old son comes home from school, and calls his mother "kankerlijer" when she tells him not to throw stuff through the house. I'm not sure how to translate that word into English, but take it from me, it's BAD, really really bad.
It happened to a friend of mine, and i was there when it happened. Apparently he picked that up in the school's playground, and decided it might be useful whenever he was being told not to do this or that around the house. My mouth fell wide open when i heard him say that, and so did my fiend's and his wife's.
But only for a brief moment, and then he slapped him a couple of times and told him it would be worse if he ever heard him say that word again. I don't think ANY parent can keep his/her cool when your kid calls you names like that, and imo there's only one way to teach him not do say that ever again.
