What method of discipline do you use most often?

It depends on the situation and what is going on with my children. For the most part they lose privileges and or toys. I also use time out and yes my children have been spanked. Again it all depends on what is going on and what the offense is

well my son is 3 and when my husband deployed he got this really bad attitude and would throw things and wouldnt listen or anything. For him taking toys away doesnt work he just didnt care at all and time outs were fun to him like it was all a game. Usually it got to where he got a spank on the butt and sent to his room and then we would have a talk about it. He is better now and just making him go to his room and sit on his bed works for me now but every once in a while he still gets a spank on the butt. I think it is fine to give spankings in the right way. I mean there is a point to where its no longer discipline but more abuse and thats where most people need to sit back and make sure that they are not taking it too far. My son when he gets spankings it does not actually hurt him one bit he just doesnt like to get them so he will stop what he is doing wrong and listen. For him a smack on the hand also works great.

I personally see nothing wrong with spanking a child as long as its simple and gets the point across. There is a right and a wrong way to spank. Children have to know what they did, and what to do next time before it helps anything. I love the people that say reason with your child. I'm sorry, but reasoning with a 2 year old is about as easy as nailing Jell-O to a tree. Aint happenin'.

Well i think i will use the right thing is to talk properly.The disciplne begins where you talk properly f\it is only from our talks that we can judge about the persons background and his habits mostly.If you got the right behaviour and politness to talk then i think atleast your first impression can be good, rest comes later to it.but with the right talk it is necessary to maintain a right type of accent and gestures too.
