"Knock him into next week"!

That's what my parents always said they'd do to me, lmao!

Seriously, though...there are so many different situations that arise it's hard to use just one method of dicipline. I usually go for warnings, then I start taking sh!t away. i.e computer, video games, t.v, stereos, etc...

Timeouts worked great when my son was younger, but they tend to grow out of that. Oh, I'll never 'hit' my child, but I came close the other day when he darted across the road w/o looking. He nearly got hit three times, and again when he made it to the front porch. (By me)

It scared the sh!t out of me, and I ended up yelling at him something furious...

He got the picture w/o me getting physical with him, though.
