As others have said: Spanking, yes. Hitting, no. There's a difference.
Spanking, to me, is a brief swat on the butt to get their attention that you're displeased, not a means of discipline.
These days I hardly ever spank my kids. I thought for a while it would work, but it really doesn't. Sending them to their room, making them stand in the corner, making them sit in a chair, all work about as well as spanking. In fact, sending them to their room seems to work surprisingly well.
Sometimes they just get in a mood where nothing you do works. At that point, sending them to their room is best if for no other reason than it keeps you from really wailing on them.
