"Explaining the error of their ways" isn't going to do anything. We aren't born with a sense to do moral unless it benefits us or our kin. I recommend taking away privileges for doing bad things in addition to reinforcing good behaviour with rewards. In extreme cases, corporal punishment.
It not being a thing we are born with is precisely why we explain. How do you think they learn it? :/
Even very young children benefit from explanations. I explained to a fourteen month old that I was putting her down because she bruised my lip. It's not something she'll learn straight off the bat, but she will with repetition. Cause and effect.
What's the best way to discipline a child?

Except some people just don't get it until they are disciplined.

Most, however, do.
And any discipline or punishment should go hand in hand with explanation.

"And any discipline or punishment should go hand in hand with explanation."
Exactly.

Your first sentence didn't indicate that at all, that's why I said it.
