worked on me!
seriously, spankings (on the ass, only) were highly appropriate when I was too young to have reason (before kindergarten?). taught me not to throw a tantrum in the store really quickly, at the very least.
i think new parents are afraid of spanking because they think it's excessive...well, it can be, but you're not trying to kill the kid, just a couple of reasonable spankings to get the point across that "<insert behavior> = bad"
