A slap

Whenever people tend to beat or fight, they first start with a slap on the face, especially for women and kids. Ever wondered why? Because the face is exposed and psychologically humiliating, it can shock or intimidate quickly, and it usually requires less force than hitting harder body areas. But, it can cause serious physical and emotional harm due to the sensitivity of facial nerves and the brain area. Even in Islam, striking the face is strongly discouraged, including when disciplining children.
