» Brenda Lane - Spanking Children

To my knowledge, I have only "spanked" my then 2 year old once - when she looked right at me (after I told her to come back to me) and waltzed across the street.

Again - a safety thing. I was terrified but not angry. But I wanted the consequences to be memorable.

Other than that we used time-outs - at times several times a day; then as they got older, withholding valuable events or special things like tv watching or comp time. Later we added being grounded as well as taking away comp or tv time. It works
