What does "effective" (ages 2 to 6) mean here? What do I want to show to a kid when I'm angry? That I resort to violence? Do people really think that kids don't know that parents can be angry?

I cannot imagine one single reason to lose an argument to a 6 year-old kid, stop talking and just hit them.

You're just a bad parent, if you do that. That's all.
