I know many families who never touched their child in an agressive manner, or resorted to shouting. It requires alot more discipline and control in the house. These are families who are very firm and consequential when it comes to action and behavior.
Regrettfully, I've personally swatted my children a handful of times when they were pre-schoolers....because of potentially "dangerous" behavior which I should have corrected and insured would not take place in the first place(running into the street etc). I found time-outs and other behavior modification including positive reenforcement to have longer term benefits.

I really like your formulation. Too many hitter equate not hitting with no discipline.
