If he thinks it's a game it's just a game. We don't do formal spankings often, but we do give seats on the spot.

Our rule of thumb was, when they are old enough to knowingly show defiance, they are old enough to get swatted.

For all other stuff we use talking, timeouts, and scolding. But acts of defiance and lies get spankings/swats 100% of the time.
