My son is 11 now and my daughter 7 and we have always used a combination of the rod plus loss of privileges to discipline them it doesn't seem to me that it has exasperated them ever so long as they understand why the privilege has been removed for a time.

We take a similar tack. And we find that the training early on leads to less and less spankings later. The idea of reimbursement is also used - we 'fine' the children for certain things (wasting water, leaving lights on, etc.) and they understand it just fine - it really makes a difference.
