wow big subject once again. i have a 22 month old son who is as onry as the day is long and is soo stubborn!! in our house my husband and i spank. not for everything but for a lot. he is at the age where he likes to push buttons and test limits and nothing seems to get through to him other than a few light slams every now and then lol. no just kidding im not a child abuser but im not a time out person either. time out is for the birds to me. i have never seen time out work successfully. if you could get my son to sit and stay there maybe, but he wont! what do you think? suggestions?

Having a children who have been a stubborn children is easy to discipline as long as they are too young like your son who is only a 22 months old. Every children have a unique behavior and a unique attitude toward other. Spanking is not the answer, instead we need to show them the beauty of love and respect, so that she or he know what is a good sign of a good behavior. Beside that we need to show them what we are, if we show that we have a bad attitude, that is an example for them. Having a good parent is having a good children. We are the model of our children and we must show to them.

I think you have a good son, I mean a very creative son. Because you mentioned about he like to push buttons and test limits to his parents. I used the word, 'creative' and not naughty, you know why?. Normally any person who need attention will take creative way in fulfill their intention.
