Corporal punishment should be a last resort that is rarely resorted to. If you get to that point with nothing else working, it probably isn’t going to work either. On the other hand, there is something to be said for “spare the rod and spoil the child”, but it probably shouldn’t be taken completely literally.
I concur with your statement that if you get to that point with nothing else working, it probably isn’t going to work either. Corporal punishment and spanking are tough issues for parents.
