Or maybe you talk to the kid and take away a privilege they have temporarily that is (at least close to) a natural consequence of behavior? But then again, I’m just a parent of a relatively well adjusted kid who isn’t violent and talks to me about their problems, so what the fuck do I know?

Punishing is much more than violence against children, and hitting them is one of the worst ways to punish for many reasons.
How about threaten to hit them with gestures?

But it’ll get you upvotes on Lemmy apparently.
Show us on the thread where anyone advocated for hitting the kid? All I see is people assuming parents are going to hit the kid.
