The amount of physical punishment you give children is going to depend both on age and effectiveness. There is usually an age beyond when it's simply not effective for getting your larger points across, and you have to go for other means of punishment (grounding/de-allowancing/other means of checking his relatedness privileges.) If you haven't learned to lecture yet, start learning. Better yet, get your husband to do it once the kids reach teenage-hood.

To each their own.)
