How do you discipline your children at home?

Teenagers are tough to parent, no getting around it. Don't criticize them whatever you do. They are still very unsure of themselves even though they try to behave otherwise. You don't want to make them feel any worse about themselves. They already think they're fat, ugly, unpopular, etc. My preferred method of dealing with teens is to try and reason with them. Make them feel like you trust them and that their opinions matter to you. Explain your reasoning to them and listen while they try to explain their feelings. I guess what I'm saying with all that is that you need to do everything you can to keep the lines of communication between you and your teen open. It's up to you to be calm. You're the adult, and you aren't battling the hormones and new feelings they're dealing with.

if i would have kids in the future.. im gonna punish them by giving them something they love and taking it away, Nyehehe

How I discipline my kids is when they were younger they go into their rooms for a time out. When they get older they get grounded from going places or they get something taken away from them for a limited period of time.

I figure if they don't want to do as told then they don't deserve privileges. We take away (what we call extras of life)extras. They are not doing to die if they don't have them and sooner or later they will learn.

my children are 3 years and 3 months old so i haven't had to deal with that yet! i would say take their privileges away and punish them if they do not listen!
