We swat our kids when we are facing something that we don't have the time to get them to learn it for themselves, like walking out in the street or hanging off the banister 12 feet above a tile floor. Only when it can result in severe injury/death and the kid is demonstrating an unwillingness to listen.
Since we use it so rarely, we don't have to hit them with enough force to even leave a mark. The simple fact that dad just took them by the arm and swatted their little butt is scary enough.
