    Trying to understand the child is still best I think-- as well as trying to Make them understand-- but not through physical punishment-- if you hit them they can tend to hit back, not only to you, but to others as well. I think the time-out chair does wonders though... I know of someone who was spanked by his father at such a young age: all he remembers is that his dad hurt him, not even understanding Why he got spanked. That's tough. He thinks his dad doesn't love him at such a young age, since when he does something wrong, he gets spanked.

    I am so with you on this one, Billy-- I don't think spanking is the solution to misbehaving, especially if the reason for spanking is not even explained to the child-- All it does is to leave all these negative impacts on the child, physically and emotionally hurting the child. What it can even do is to "toughen" the child to the point that they become even more hard-headed. I think I know what you mean about ignoring the child during a tantrum. Children are smart, they throw tantrums sometimes to Seek attention, so if you let them be, at some point, they will realize that throwing a tantrum is Not the solution to getting what they want, so they will stop.

    When my boys got out of line I would lightly snap their ear with my finger and say, "Hey, smarten up will ya!" They would laugh and then we would discuss the situation as a family and they became better kids for it. My point is that discipline doesn't have to be harsh.

    I like your piece after the post, so wrong to use corporal punishment. Young people are pretty smart and can be reasoned with. Patience and understanding go along way.

    Too many children are having children today unfortunatly and so called adults have no idea regarding child rearing. Being a resident of the Big Apple, New York City, I see so many children being raised by nannies. That has to affect them emotionally.
