I have a son, currently 3 1/2 months old.  Although we have *no* reason
to discipline him and wouldn't even think of it now, I still am looking
to the future and developing a philosophy now, so that when the time
comes, I will be, at least, somewhat ready to deal with it.

I agree with the general philosophy of the consensus to only spank
sparingly and for the proper reason (ie. injury-causing ).
Also I believe in confinement in the corner for a brief period as
opposed to going to the bedroom.

My question, however, is this:

   At what age SHOULD you start this practice. (ie. When will it not
    emotionally harm him, (or) when will it do him good)?
