Here’s how James Dobson tells his flock to treat children: James Dobson - Wikiquote.

“[P]ain is a marvelous purifier… It is not necessary to beat the child into submission; a little bit of pain goes a long way for a young child. However, the spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the child to cry genuinely.”
From Dare to Discipline, pages 6 and 7

“Some strong-willed children absolutely demand to be spanked, and their wishes should be granted… [T]wo or three stinging strokes on the legs or buttocks with a switch are usually sufficient to emphasize the point, ‘You must obey me.’”
From The Strong-Willed Child, pp. 53-4.
