Yes and yes.

I was spanked exactly twice when I was a kid - once for going up on the canal bank behind our house and once for playing with matches. With both, my parents decided, and rightly in my estimation, that those were things regarding which they could not simply try to reason with me and hope for the best - they had to make it crystal clear that I was NEVER to do those things again. They deliberately went to a form of punishment that they didn't normally use just so it would make a huge impression on me, and it did.
