Clip Round The Ear

What is Clip Round The Ear?


1.

A soft but firm strike with the hand delivered to the side of the head, characteristically by a parent to a child. The strike is designed not so much to hurt as to shock the offending minor. In a modern context, some might construe this as child abuse, although it is an accepted method of disciplining children provided restraint is shown.
