I believe in a swat to the butt to get their attention. That's all its ever taken for my child and those have been rare. However, I seen some kids misbehave so badly in public that I wondered if a good paddling might have been in order. I myself was paddled a few times as a child when I deserved it and I think it taught me there are consequences when we break the rules; a lesson that carries over into adult life. Oddly enough, I now speak of it with a degree of pride as do some friends that I've heard mention it.
