I have no doubt spanking can be effective in really limited circumstances.
I can't imagine being convinced spanking is necessary.
And I'd say the older kids get, the less effective it will be. Already at 4 my kid knows when he's going to face the music for his actions. on occasion he does it anyway, because thats what kids do. Based on my limited experience with kids, by the time they are 4-6, spanking would be a waste of time.
