Boredom is like, the ultimate punishment for a child that wants/needs constant stimulation. Sticking me in a corner for even 5 minutes felt like absolute TORTURE to me. Or possibly removing favorite toy for a few days or something. I always responded better to the corner or toy taking then I did spanking. You see, I remember what I did wrong when I put in the corner, but with spanking, all I remember is the act of spanking and not what I did wrong.

EDIT: Not assuming you spank, just trying to provide a comparison.
