This can be so complicated when you have several children and apply different consequences to them according to their individualities. The goal is to make the discipline a memorable experience so that they can learn from it. We have some kids that spanking was effective. Some that taking tv / electronics away was very effective. One of our kids felt the punishment deeply when we sent him(her) to bed without dessert. We struggle still as discipline is H A R D - so hard, but so necessary. Thank you, Jeremy for content that continues to teach me.
Spanking causes psychological trauma always. Without exception it creates a unsafe environment for a child which activates their survival instincts which will make them rebel or obey. You do not want to cause such trauma to children as they will seek safety, correct guidance else. Also addiction and trauma go hand in hand.
