Slight detour from the actual question, this is more in response to the replies, and will be a controversial opinion, certainly is with my wife, but I think parenting has gone backwards since we abandoned physical discipline. Young kids aren’t yet rational yet you’re going to solely rely on reasoning with them? Without the threat of that additional escalation, you are limited in your ability to properly set boundaries. I feel hamstrung as a parent and find the modern approach absurd. I grew up with physical discipline and believe I am better for it. Should be absolute last resort, but it needs to be there else your kids don’t take you seriously.

I think what might work for some might traumatize others. I'm fairly certain it turned my dad into a person that does not ever dare to show any emotions of frustration or resentment. I mean my grandpa hit him with the belt, maybe it's a bit far fetched but if you can do X why not Y or where is the line then exactly? The only time i get physical with one of my kids is if she is going berserk during dinner beyond reason and i cannot get her to move to a different room by herself. I always tell her i don't want to do it but i will (and do) and it always breaks my heart because she will fight hard so i have to be careful while she screams that i'm hurting her. I always try to make the moment as short as possible. I would never use something to physically hurt them. I don't want to teach them that if you don't get what you want it's ok to physically overpower someone.
