Lots of good points.
My personal favorites are
Kneel and speak at their level if you want understanding instead of blind obedience. The kids can sit on your knee and you get lots more hugs also!
Communicate first before resorting to physical discipline. Use clear judgement so if angry, calm down. Utilize time punishments preferably, standing in a corner, etc. Never swat on the rear more than once.
If a method is ineffective, discard it.. Have patience and enjoy the best adventure of your life! You will make mistakes but learn and move.
Show affection.
