I don't have any kids, but I've been around enough of them (several nanny jobs) to know that each kid is different, and that they'll respond to different things. I also believe though, that if you're spanking your kid hard enough that it hurts your hand, you're spanking too hard. I won't spank out of anger. I will spank to make a point. Hitting out of anger never got anything across to me as a kid, and I dealt with plenty of it.
