There are other ways of disciplining besides withdrawal of privileges when they get to be past the age where the switch is likely to be effective.

For example, if misbehavior results in damaged property, they fix it or pay for repairs or replacement.

Here's another example. Suppose you have to jump into the car and drive them somewhere to retrieve a valuable that they left behind. You figure out the mileage or cost of the gas and make them reimburse you. I actually applied this once when I had to come home from work in the middle of the day to deal with a situation. It was a 20-mile each way commute. I never had to do that again.
