I’m not a parent so I don’t think I have a super great understanding of which punishments are most effective, but ones I can think of:
- Taking away something that they like
- scolding them
- giving them a time-out
I’m not sure if they are as effective as spanking or not, but they can all be ways of turning long-term consequences into short-term ones, and I don’t think they are vilified the same way as spanking.
My point being that the violent part of spanking is what is frowned upon, not the making-consequences-immediate part.
