Parents, ano ang best way to DISCIPLINE kids nowadays, based on your experience?

I think for my child nagwowork ang pamalo, after that inaask ko sya kung tama or mali ba yung ginawa nya, bakit nya ginawa yun, pinapangaralan ko sya and I explain to her kung bakit ko sya napapalo. That's the best way na nagwowork samin ngayon pero hindi palaging napapalo ah 😅 Tinatry ko pa din yung gentle parenting. 😁
