Young people are the dumbest demograhic

Wherever we draw the line, it's still physical force, right? I'm not saying I don't see the difference between limited corporal punishment and the kind of violence that, say, Skids describes, but at the end of the day both are framed around physical expressions of authority. So the challenge is for those of us who (by choice) don't have recourse to physical authority to find an effective alternative.

Take away what they love most and don't give it back until their behaviour improves.

doesnt work, they would just find it and take it, thats why our justice system is a joke, the crims have nothing to be afraid of.
stand over there for 30 imn bad boy! **** you dad, as son as your backs turned ill do what i want. next thing they are rampaging at 15!

a qucik tap on the butt is a fast lesson, standing in the corner is mental abuse, and just gives them time to think of payback!

I used to think like that, I don't anymore. I've learned there's other ways but it needs patience, consistency and some skills that don't necessarily come naturally
