It doesn't happen "on screen" but it is mentioned Sophie grabbing her sisters by the hair so they stop fighting and she quickly mentions spanking one of them when she had "tantrums" (spanish translation).

Howl is 27 years old, and Sophie is 18 (I can't remember her age being mentioned specifically, but I found the info online and I know it can't be far off even if it's not the exact number)
