I will recall from my own experience:
My son is four years old, a difficult period of his growing up. Regularly capricious. Once again he enters the rage, he doesn’t hear and doesn’t want to hear. I hang him a slit - not strongly, but tangible. He is dissatisfied:
Nothing hurt me!
I didn’t want you to hurt. I wanted you to pay attention to me, I calmly explain. If I wanted to hurt you, I would knock like this.
I shook my fist on the wall.
The son looks at me with big surprised and frightened eyes and suddenly becomes contractual. We no longer had to go back to the topic of physical violence (except for the rhetorical questions on the walk "Son, will you go home yourself, or will you be dragged under the mouse?")
