The only scriptures I found do not mention corporal punishment directly but
say this:

Colossians 3:21 
Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.

Ephesians 6:4 
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in
the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

I may be misguided in this thought,  All I can say is that I have been
blessed by wonderful obedient daughters who repond to my voice.
