Just to give an example of why spanking/physical disciplne does work if used correctly.



I have a cousin who was spoiled rotten to the core. Anything,everything he wanted.

His mother dealt with his tantrums with"understanding" and "conversation".

One day his mother was o the verge of a breakdown becasue the bastard was running around like a maniac, breaking stuff, cursing, et....she tells him no more tv and calmly unplugs the tv.

Well the crying ranting and raving got worse and littel Manny got a pair of scissors and went to stab his mother, screaming" I hate you, I hope you die"

His mother had to dodge out of the way of the scissors and tried to "talk" him out of his rage........ I grabbed his little nipple and squeezed until he was in tears from the pain and told him, while holding his nipple, that he better stop and behave like an 8 year old boy, instead of a 4 year old girl or it would get worse.

He calmed down, didn't say a word and went to his room. His mother was in shock and actually got mad at me.

We patched things up and little Manny respected his mother ever since.

Talking didn't work with him...pain did.

If that's what it takes so be it. As long as it is not abusive.

How else could he have been dealt with?
