I'm really sad to hear that anyone is still doing this; there are equally effective methods. Why the "tap", what possible good could that do? If it's hard enough to make them feel like they did something wrong, it could not only hurt them, but also make them fearful of your hands. If it's soft enough to not hurt them it won't be good enough to alter their behavior anyway. Most people admit the "tap" is just for their own benefit to get out their own frustration.
