That worked for me and it's working for the next generation of kids in my family. You bet that I'll be quick to raise my hand when needed if and when my future kids act up.
Sorry if I've offended anybody, but that's how I plan to raise my kids. I don't tell you how to raise yours, so please keep insults to a bare minimum, thanks.

My parents spanked. Although I think I had maybe 4 or 5 of them my entire life. Because I didn't
care if I got spanked. I learned by the second one that it hurt for maybe 2 minutes, and then I could go right back to whatever I was doing. So my mom started "timeouts" ... I would have to stand in a corner, and I couldn't talk or turn my head or look at anyone. OMG did I hate it. I would stand there for maybe 3 minutes and it drove me crazy. To this day I can't stand not doing anything.
My brother and sister, the spanking worked on, but for me, it was timeouts. It depends on what will get the message across to the kid.
