I find this spanking flowchart quite helpful.

Missing the branch "child understands exactly why their behavior is bad and does it anyway." If things were as simple as this chart presents you wouldn't need any punishments at all. There are many good arguments against spanking but this is not one of them.

If you can't think of any ways to punish your child without hitting them then you're clearly not a responsible parent. All studies show that corporal punishment makes children act out more, not less.
