You could implement a "time-out" period, take away privileges or comfort items such as toys and bedding, or use physical force redirect techniques like gentle but firm touches on the shoulder, wrist or arm. You could also use "positive reinforcement" and reward good behavior with tokens that can be exchanged for special rewards later on.

One way to physically discipline your child without leaving a mark is to use an alternative punishment. This can include time-outs, taking away privileges, grounding, and sending him to his room. It is important that the punishment fit the crime and should be consistent and even-tempered every time. Additionally, verbal threats of physical consequences can also work as a deterrent; for example if you tell them that if they don't stop running in the hallway, they'll be spanked. This warning is usually enough for them to cease their activities before any physical actions need to be taken.
