I couldn't agree more with Chemda about good parents being able to assert their authority over their children using non physical means.
A good parent should be respected by their children, and so the act of making the parents disappointed should be enough to keep the children in line.
No one, no less a child, wants to hurt someone that they respect.
I was a good kid when my grandmother raised me, (up until i was about 12) and when I saw the "look" when i did something she didnt like, i would freeze and stop whatever i was doing.
Also, I think just having a close relationship with your younger siblings would be enough to make a child mature quicker. But that really that has nothing to do with hitting your child.
