Depends on the kid and the situation that they're in. Some kids simply won't listen, and I find that a relatively gentle but firm smack works sometimes to get then to quiet down and listen. There are other kids who react badly to physical punishment due to past experiences. You'd really have to take in a child's personality and what they'd react better to, I guess.
Is smacking children socially acceptable?
