Time out?

[kidlove]

Just like any other form of "firm" discipline...if done/used correctly...you should only have to use a time-out once or twice, and after that a quick "do you want a time-out?" and the child will fly right. Same way with spanks....I spanked my kids a few times when younger and now its "do you want a spanking?" and they usually straighten up. You have to give a consequence and ALWAYS follow through.
