Based on my experience when I was little … it’s the ability to threaten a child with a spanking that’s important, not the corporal punishment itself. I wasn’t ever actually spanked much, but the few times I was made me think twice before doing things that my parents said I’d be spanked for if I did. If your child finds some other kind of punishment just as terrifying, it’s probably similarly effective as a threat. I have a hard time imagining ‘sitting in time out’ or something like that being as scary of a thought as getting a spanking, but it probably depends on the kid. The bottom line (no pun intended) is that a child has to fear the punishment more than he or she wants to do whatever it is you are dissuading them from doing. If you only have to spank a kid once every couple of months, but you have to send them to time-out on an almost daily basis, there’s something to be said there.
