How much would you agree that firmness at times, when skillfully done, really is beneficial to kids?

Oh, believe me - I make liberal use of Google!
Well, I do believe that firmness is necessary at times. But, probably because I'm so sensitive, what I think of as "firm" isn't necessarily firm. I'm the kind of person who would say a parent was "yelling" at me, when they were speaking in a stern voice. If I have to give my dog a swat on the rear when he misbehaves, it doesn't phase him at all - probably because it doesn't hurt.
