Didn't I say no?

Discipline is a touchy subject for parents. Many different ways to get the point across. Now I was spanked maybe 4 times in my life and the last one was when I was 5 years old. Ahhhh, the life, I know I was the youngest so maybe they were tired by then but I was a good kid. Really, I was. The punishment that worked for me was sending me to the corner to look at the wall while everyone was having a grand ole time. Not sitting but standing for the whole time. I hated it with a passion. Right now, I may do a little hand smack but that's it, I try and make it more mental like taking things away from her or sitting her down away from what is going on. It seems to work so far. I don't look down on other who use other methods. Maybe things change when she is older but it isn't me. The good thing is she never acts up in public (knocking on wood) and really doesn't at home, the issue is she doesn't sit still and I have to constantly challenge her. So when the makers go from the writing pad to the wall "Houston we have a problem."
