My mama was good at punishment! She'd sit me down and say, "What would you do if you had a little girl who just did that?" Meanwhile, I'd be thinking that I'd smack the snot out of them!

Let's hear it for parents who DO punish their children, and make them see consequences!!

I think that spanking works for little kids, when contained to the part of the anatomy that the good Lord designed for punishing! You can't reason with a 1-year-old, and often, that's the only way to get their attention. I had a sister-out-law whose little girl was just beautiful, but on the way to becoming a serial killer - and all she'd ever do was say, "No, no, no!" to her! The kid stabbed at me!
