I don't believe that it's necessary or productive. The idea that kids behaviour can be corrected through pain and fear is fanciful at best. The evidence doesn't support that. The best that anyone can offer up is anecdotal evidence based on the past, but delinquent children have always been a thing. In fact, a common thread in delinquency is violence in the home. It's love and time that make a positive difference, not threat and violence.
Each to their own, but it's not for me.
