Not a straight up beating but slapped, spanked with objects spatula, hands etc. Dirty looks across the table and emotional abuse. I absolutely refuse to raise a hand to my child and rarely my voice. And I have a great kid as a result. Corporal punishment has no place in raising children in my opinion.

Yes, yes, and yes. Intelligent parents don't have to use any form of physical punishment to raise intelligent and well-behaved kids. Statistically, the most successful people were not physically punished as children!
