| Clearly there are more than the two options of  A) Spank or B) Reason.
 Sure, you can't reason with a 3 year old, but there are other consequences to misbehaving that aren't physical.
 
 I have a 15 month old daughter who i've never hit and don't plan to. I firmly believe in the idea that kids shouldn't fear their parents. Respect them, yes, but not fear them.
 
 BTW I was spanked as a kid..
