Proverbs 23:14-15 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.
It is not enough to raise your children through reasoning. It is not wrong to physically discipline. All children need paddled now and then. Some will need it more than others, but all will need it at some point. Do not do it if you are angry. Wait until you have calmed down or have your husband do it for you, even if at a later time. Do it in love, knowing that is it for their own good. It is not a punishment, rather it is a tool parents must utilize. I am sure you have seen children who were in need of it. Certainly, you will not want your child's soul to die. ~Dad
