powerclown- for some children that does work. For instance, my stepdaughter you could have her go sit on a chair in a corner for 5 minutes and she would do so...pouting, but she'd do it. My son- no. He has a very, very strong and independent personality and time-outs and putting him in his room don't work. If something doesn't work, i won't do it again. Simple as that. What has worked? vinegar. I simply dab a little on my finger and put it in his mouth. He doesn't really fight- he's almost curious, yet I know for a fact he dislikes the taste. But I have rarely needed to give it to him.

Exactly. If it works for you- and your child- in a healthy manner, great. It all depends on your child and what works. Not every parent disciplines the same way, and that's okay. As I tend to say, "Whatever works". And I mean it.
