At the same time, my parents have told me that of the five they raised I was by far the easiest, and the others got spanked. Thats just a testament that all children react differently to different stimuli.

I hear you there.
About the other; A long time ago, when my daughter was in day care, and we first started using the dreaded, "time-out" I asked her teacher the same question, "How do I get her to stay on time-out? She always gets up, and runs the other direction!" She told me, take the child to her room, and ask her to sit on the bed, and stay on time-out by herself. Tell her she has a choice, she can either stay put like a big girl, or she can have Mommy help her stay put by sitting on her. (not hard, or in a rough manner) Just not allowing them to get up on their own.
All it took was a few times with my daughter having "help sitting" before she was sitting on time-out, with no help, all by her choice.
Best advice anyone ever gave me besides, “Don’t lie to your children,” and “Let them make their own mistakes.”
