Attended birthday party today, feeling terribly guilty for smacking 21 month son on hand after hitting/scratching another little boySad not smacked before don't know what came over me or him? Really shocked myself have 2 other children aged 16, and 5 not smacked them!

Had to answer your message. It really isn't the end of the world. A whole day has gone past since your very minor transgression. Ask your 21month old son if he has stopped loving you. I imagine he's totally forgotten it.

He'll survive! You smacked his hand, you didn't beat him! Don't worry about it.
