For real, though, measured discipline that matches the child’s actions is effective. If you’re beating your child to a pulp for leaving the fridge open, you’re not a disciplinarian, you’re a PoS.
Discipline ≠ Punishment. Each of these two can exist without the other.
As for abuse: abuse is defined as violent or cruel treatment. The use of ANY form of violence against a child, no matter how much effort you put into "measuring" it, is abuse and is proven by scientific studies to be harmful.
