My dad whipped my ass with a belt, it turned me into the fine citizen I am today, although still with a sore butt.
I never used any form of corporal punishment with my children... I was spanked and quickly realized not to get caught next time.
I used time outs with the first... worked well, and with my second... I put her on ignore, literally would not speak to her for an hour.
Not so different from training dogs lol
Hitting dogs doesn’t work... training them does.
When I was growing up the most terrifying words my Dad ever said were: Bring me my belt.
My Dad had one belt.
It was used on Sunday to hold his trousers up and Monday through Saturday to discipline children.
BTW, Monday through Saturday he wore overalls. No belt required.
