You're right. Its been a gradual change and there have always been some parents who were against it.

If you like stats there are a series of surveys by the NSPCC that show it was less common and a lot less severe in 2008 than in 1998.

As I understand it up until the 1970s it was virtually impossible to go through school without getting it.

On a funny note a group of my little brothers friends were having a debate about being smacked. It would have been about 2008 probably in response to that survey, which had a lot of publicity.
There were maybe a dozen of them, girls and boys. Only one girl said she never remembered being smacked at all.
They dared her to accept just one slap so she knew what it was like.

I don't know why baby bro was chosen to show her. He insists her didn't even smack her very hard, but she made quiet a fuss and confused him by messaging him all evening complaining about his hand print on her butt.

Hah. I'm reminded of "The Princess and the Pea," a fairy tale from childhood. Give her a little smack on her bottom. If she makes a big fuss, she must be a princess. :)
