I don't believe in physical punishments either. If my daughter misbehaves, it really depends on where we are and who's around us. If she's with other kids, I'll have to remove her from everyone, bring her away from where others can see us and then reprimand her. I believe it's important not to shame them in public because they may end up being resentful instead. If she had cause hurt to someone else or gotten into a fight with another kid, I'd spilt them up, isolate them in a room (different corners) and let them reflect by themselves facing the wall on their own for 15 minutes. Afterwhich, I would come in and asked if they knew what was wrong and why was it wrong. Last is to hug and kiss each other and to forgive one another.
