Punishing is much more than violence against children, and hitting them is one of the worst ways to punish for many reasons.

    How about threaten to hit them with gestures?

    Or maybe you talk to the kid and take away a privilege they have temporarily that is (at least close to) a natural consequence of behavior? But then again, I'm just a parent of a relatively well adjusted kid who isn't violent and talks to me about their problems, so what the fuck do I know?

    Man, the amount of people who default "punishment" to "violence against kids" is fucking stupid.
