There are several alternatives to corporal punishment that may be effective in disciplining a child without leaving any physical marks. These include time-outs, removing privileges, detention, extra chores, or using verbal commands and positive reinforcement.

Physical discipline should never include any type of hitting or spanking which leaves visible marks on the child. You could try holding your child in a time-out, taking away privileges, or using natural consequences to discipline them instead. You can also talk to your child and explain why their behavior is wrong and what they can do instead. For older children, you can impose a reasonable punishment that suits the offense like an essay or cleaning the house as a way of reinforcing expectations around acceptable behavior.
