Ugh, he's not even two and we are dealing with alot! I think one panelist was right in that it DOES depend on your child and his/her temperament. I don't know, I guess you have to find the balance for what fits your family. I was hoping to find some concrete answers here! I am learning in my super beginners course that when our son is very upset we have to physically remove him from the room and sit quietly with him, which may mean reading him a story or the "re-direction". I do think he is affected directly by our mood at the time. When I'm cranky or have little patience he can tell and he feeds off of it. Too bad I wear my heart of my sleeve!

We tried spanking and my son just laughed at it. The thing that bothers him is time out. However last night he thought is was funny. What now? I don't know. He's three and is being rough with us and our cats and we are trying to get it across to him that he's hurting people and animals. Does anyone have useful advice?

I do believe that you do have other options of discpline your one year old and it is going to get really hard with his temperament. I have a two year old and her temperament is very drama queenish she has very dramatic when it comes to getting her way, and i deal with her in 3ways a time out, take her favorite toy from her, our we our going to have a talk about why you got a spanking. I try these methods and they work really well with my two year old, you have to really work hard with discpline with young age children and i do believe you will find your way!!!

i was around several parents before i actually had my own. but io believe that taking away things that the kid likes will ddefinately make them think twice before repeating bad behavior.
time out works too, but not in their rooms. pick a quiet place in the home where you can still see them. or watch nanny 911. they have helped me a lot

I didn't even watch the video, but take away my daughter's Nintendo DS? I know it seems light punishment, but it's Armageddon if that little thing is taken away. KIDS DETEST THIS, FELLOW MOTHERS. TRY IT.
