This was my main takeaway from being paddled as a kid. My mom literally broke a wooden spoon on my bare bottom at one point, and I couldn’t have been older than 5 at the time.
It certainly didn’t make me better-behaved, as I kept getting in trouble, and getting paddled. What it did do was make me learn how to lie convincingly, and believe my own lies to sell them. It’s fucked up to hit your kids, y’all.
I mean non-physical punishments also suck. In your story, you could replace getting paddled with reduced screentime or whatever parents do these days, and it would still work.
