Our rule of thumb was that spanking was reserved for willful disobedience. I've only had to spank my kids maybe ten times. But my kids aren't that bull-headed.
Catwoman - timeouts are very good for their intended purpose - to get a kid to calm down and take a deep breath. Having a kid stand in a corner for 1/2 hour is not a timeout. It is physical punishment of a different sort.
