What would you suggest instead?
"Oh Timmy don't set your sisters hair on fire, go sit down for 3 minutes with no snacks"
You raise serial killers or manipulative narcissistic fcks that way 
Children aren't developed, all this new age mess like letting them control their punishments and talking it out is a joke to them to an extent.
The purpose of a solid spanking is to deeply instill the lesson that poor choices create harmful consequences.
I think the KEY is to just be unpredictable. Im not saying give the children a surprise ambush lashing, but NO form of discipline should become routine. I dont care what it is.
Routines and predictability is what can make it all a running joke after a while. The punishments have to fit the crime, and, again, it depends on the human being you're raising and dealing with. Its all case by case
Even if im raising 3 kids, there's no way in the world im going to handle all three of them in the exact same way
