To Spank or not to Spank

Tough Love vs Spanking


Most of America's populace thinks it very improper to spank children as
was the preferred method of yesteryear.
I recently tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of
One that I have found very effective was to just take the child for a
car ride and talk.
They usually calmed down and stopped misbehaving after our little outing
together.
I've included the photo below of one of those sessions with my kid in
case you would like to use the technique.

So seriously, I use a combo of time outs and spankings and as they get older,( they are 3 and 4) I sprinkle in lost privileges. What do you do?
