Misbehaving children

No. It doesn't make any sense. They get spanked for something, but get in trouble if they hit somebody. How does that work? Logical and natural consequences work much better. Adults are usually angry when they spank a child. That's not the time to give the child a consequence of any kind. Put them in a time-out, one minute for each year of their age. Use those few minutes to calm down. Then talk to them about it, have them apologize to whomever was hurt (or whatever was done.) Give them a hug and say "I love you." They'll still lose Xbox or watching a movie, or going to a friend's house. Just don't hurt them.
Honestly, I think it depends on the child. Everyone is different. For one kid reprimanding them verbally is enough. For another it takes a little bit more to make them understand their wrong doing. Personally, I believe spanking makes sense for a child who has been warned about something and deliberately disobeys and ultimately hurts themselves or another person or puts them or others in danger. I think it's important to not spank though out of anger. A parent or guardian must be in a calm state and explain to the child why they are being punished.
Yes a little of spanking but more of talking to them . it does help this way better
There are ways in controlling kids that mis behave and spanking is not on that list,
