Quote:So what other methods do you use/recommend and how effective has it been?

I don't have strong feelings on this particular issue. To each their own. But to answer your question.


We use time outs and a loss of privileges with my kids. Never have an issue with either child and both are really well behaved. This might not work for everyone, but it has for us.


In school, I have never really had any issues with my students. So no real need to dish out punishment. Maybe I've been lucky. That being said, I think school corporeal punishment opens a giant can of worms. Too many variables to keep it simple.
