My kids had to "go sit in the brown chair". It was "time out".
They lost allowance..
Went to bed early.
Didn't get to watch TV.
Got spanked.....the least effective!

My son would lose his dirt bike, or quad or whatever machine he had at the time. My grand kids knew when grandpa was pissed, I wouldn't let them sit on my lap. My great grand daughter (4 years old) who is deaf since birth is incapable of wrong doing. A sweeter soul,God has not created. She is never more than an arms length away when she visits.

I said that too, before I read any of the entries.
My parents couldn't have taken away my prvileges, b/c I didn't have any . I didn't have a bike, or my own phone, or my own TV , or anything. My brother got all the breaks b/c they liked him better than me. He got a go-cart and my dad never let me ride it!

No......i don't agree with smacking,it is a form of abuse.Any bad behaviour from a child should hold a consequence,taking something away from them ,time out,no play.By doing this it lets them know their behaviour was not acceptable and won't be tollerated.

My children when they were young and disobedient their punishments were: wash walls and windows, scrub floors, take away what they love the most, and sometimes spankings. My goal was to teach my children their are consequences for wrongdoing and learn from the mistakes they make and not to repeat them.

Bloody oath I did with mine and now the same with Grand kids.
How? any way I feel is appropriate.
As my Mum said " The very best thing you can give a child is a pat on the back, providing it is low enough, hard enough and often enough."

i was always smacked as a child, actually smacked is an understatement but i do believe in a good slap on the arse. nothing more than that and i also believe that it is the mother who should be giving the smacks.

My dad used to smack me across the face....sometimes 2 smacks at one sitting! And usaully it was for something trivial.
My mom was a pretty good mom, but sometimes she would beat my butt with the back of a wooden hairbrush

I have always smacked I dont think a child really understands when taking there toys away but they do remember that smack and my son never did it again or should I say repeated and grounded worked when he got older as I was a one parent family and if he stayed at his grandparents and misbehaved he would get a clout there as well though he was normaly very good around his grandparents I think they hit harder than me! he he and one point to make is that animals hit thier young to put them in their place ! I dont think a smack hurts them its more thier pride than anything as long as you dont give them a stick with nails in it and hit them thas last quote was my Father useto threatning me with it never worked as I knew the stick never exisits

I would have there Mother ask them to see me in the study room and close the door for a small one on one talk, I also don't believe in spanking kids at all. Now in there 30s they all have very good manners.
