From a parent to a child, corporal punishment can be used effectively for a child to whom it causes changed behavior. When safety is at work, corporal punishment is often necessary. For example, if a child is to run out into the street and the child is just 2-3 years old still learning language, the idea of the sidewalk as a boundary must be made clear before the child gets hit by a car. This is an advantage of corporal punishment, saving the life of a child by intstilling the fear that a child will feel a sting if not following the stated rule.
Another positive is the quick execution. Once administered, a conversation of loving expectations must ensue. The child needs to know punishment is done out of love, not anger. Then, there are no lingering feelings, the child doesn't suffer weeks of being grounded, and understands not to repeat that behavior.
