According to California law

It seemed there was nothing he could do right. The child became disruptive in his classes; he began to set fires and to shoplift. He spent his time watching TV and neglected his homework.

According to California law, striking a child anywhere other than on the butt, or with an instrument , constitutes child abuse. If the child doesnt get the idea with one whack, then something else is going on, and the parent needs to re-evaluate the whole situation. For younger children in anger management tips circumstances involving obstinate behavior, rather than simple childish desires, a gentle whack on the butt, along with a strong No. So for older children the punishment should be focused on the removal of privileges or perhaps the assignment of extra tasks.
