True!
Hitting a child mostly causes emotional wounds when it happens unexplained and/or suddenly. Same can go for emotional punishment.
Although I basically do not advocate spanking I am convinced that if you don't explain your action and ground your kid for a month you do more damage than if you discuss his misbehavior and slap him/her.
