They just showed something about kids getting Timeouts. I still do not know what that does. I lived in Era where there was no time outs and had to stand in the corner. Does that make me old? It is serious I will take a time...

What do you do with your kids?

When your kid is acting up, what do you do to punish them? Do timeouts ever work? What about taking things away. My son is 9 and I feel like everyday I am on the verge of my sanity level with him.

How do you discipline your children

What do you think about spanking kids?
