Consistency is the key in my book, but I agree with ToG that different methods work for different kids.
I am more than willing to discipline children in public too.
I have found the naughty corner to be very portable.

I guess it's ok to hit your wive then, as long as it is your third request and one is consistent. Even in public.

Parents who hit their children, aren't necessairly violent

LOL!!!
It is only "understandable" if they get help. I covered the fear response, again, get help, it is still not acceptable and just makes a bad situation far worse.
We control our anger around adults because they hit back. When I was in my 20's I taught a 16 yr old to beat up his dad. Something I am still
very proud of.
My mother-in-law hit my son on the hand once, took us two weeks to stop him from hitting.
My parents spanked me one time, I set their bed on fire, I was four.
I was a good kid and was always very upset if you told me that you were disappointed in me and that I had done something wrong and understood why, once you described it.
Hit me, and all I wanted was vengeance
and I was right.
