I have a 2 year old son. Yes, I have spanked him. Now when he is doing something he is not supposed to do (and he knows he is not supposed to be doing it), all I have to do is say, "Do I need to spank you" and the behavior stops. He knows what he is doing is wrong and if he continues what the consequenses will be. By the way, spaning = one or two firm quick smacks on his butt.
If we are in public and he is misbehaving, we have done different things. If it is a place he wants to be, we leave. Otherwise he gets in trouble right there, and if that means being spanked in front of god and everybody in the middle of Wal-Mart, so be it. This crap of, "When we get home your going to be in trouble" is insane. Kids have almost no attention span and by the time you get home they have forgotton what they are getting in trouble for.
Also, can someone explain to me how to sit down and reason with a 6 month old??
