The worst my aprents did to discipline me was a slap on the back of the hand. It hurts like hell for a minute, then fades without leaving a mark, and also without causing any damage. If I got a slap, I straightened out really quickly. I think that some sort of physical punishment like that is perfectly fine, as long as the parents don't get carried away and start beating. It's basic conditioning. Kid acts up, parent threatens to slap, kid doesn't stop, parent slaps. After the first few times, the kid should learn what comes after threatening, and stop then.
