Actually denial is better. You spank a kid and once it’s over it’s forgotten. Secondly adults have, without thinking, used things that amplify their power such as belts, sticks, etc. An adult’s hand coming down on a child’s backside can actually do internal injury. You deny a kid, freedom (go stand in a corner) or things (no favorite program) or cancelling a trip for them ... etc etc ...

When children engage in behavior that is dangerous to themselves or others, it should be dealt with immediately with consequences that will be remembered.
