Every kid is different when it comes to Discipline. I had three boys, one required a swat on the butt periodically, but that didn't work on the 2nd one. He responded to a long, long talking to... in fact he would have rather had a swat on the butt and have it over. The third one only required the "look of disappointment" to set him straight.
Beating your kids is never acceptable, and people that do should feel the wrath of Child Protective Services.
